  • Title: The influence of repetition and famousness on the intracranially recorded temporobasal N200.
    Author: Rosburg T, Trautner P, Dietl T, Kral T, Elger CE, Kurthen M.
    Journal: Behav Neurosci; 2005 Aug; 119(4):876-83. PubMed ID: 16187816.
    Abstract:
    It is still a matter of debate at which time point faces are recognized as familiar, with some studies claiming a relatively early face recognition and others later effects of familiarity. The authors report on effects of famousness of depicted persons and stimulus repetition on intracranially recorded event-related potentials. Famousness resulted in an increased latency of the N200 component, as well as in an increased amplitude of a later long-lasting potential (N700). In contrast, repetition led to an increased amplitude of the N200 but no increase of its latency. They suppose that the recognition of faces becomes observable within the N200 latency range and that the increased N200 latency reflects a feature processing additional to the holistic face processing.
