title: Face Recognition: Canonical Mechanisms at Multiple Timescales.
abstract: Adaptation is ubiquitous in the nervous system, and many possible computational roles have been discussed. A new functional imaging study suggests that, in face recognition, the learning of 'norm faces' and adaptation resulting in perceptual after-effects depend on the same mechanism.
