Raymond Bruyer – författare

This book is the first to offer an overview of the increasingly studied field of face perception.

Experimental and pathological dissociation methods are used to understand both the precise cognitive mechanisms and the cerebral functions involved in face perception.

Three main areas of investigation are discussed:

face processing after brain damage; lateral differences for face processing in normals; neuropsychological studies on facial expressions.

Comment notre cerveau, en se servant d’un minimum d’informations, peut-il identifier des formes générales: une femme plutôt qu’un homme, un chat plutôt qu’un chien, un poteau plutôt qu’un arbre ? Recoupant les techniques d’imagerie cérébrale, les tests de psychologie expérimentale et la clinique des lésions cérébrales, Raymond Bruyer dévoile les arcanes du cerveau qui voit. Raymond Bruyer est professeur à l’Université de Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgique) dont il dirige le département de psychologie expérimentale.
