Question Answer
Fusiform Face Area (FFA) Part of the brain but not of the visual cortex to recognize and identify faces faster than other objects.
Autism and face recognition Autistic persons do not use the FFA to recognize faces; rather they use the normal visual cortex pathways.
Looking at where the face looks Eye tracking shows that we look at where a face looks at. This does not mean though that we pay attention to that area.
Dead or alive People use mostly the eyes in order to decide if the face they are looking at is human and alive.
