Our “face preference in SC” paper is out in @NeuroCellPress! Here’s the TLDR and the #tweeprint
New preprint! We identified a mechanism for face processing that's centered on primate SC. It's freaky fast (faster than cortical face patches), depends on inputs from visual cortex (as opposed to retina), and explains some puzzles in the literature. #tweeprint below. 1/n

Sweet write up of our recent results— face preference in SC depends on visual cortex— by @OliviaGieger and @_TheTransmitter. Thanks!
The superior colliculus, an evolutionarily ancient brain area responsible for eye movements, responds to faces before the canonical face areas do, a study of macaque monkeys suggests. By @OliviaGieger
