Neurocognitive poetics: methods and models for investigating the neuronal and cognitive-affective bases of literature reception.

abstract：:Face processing involves a complex, multimodal brain network. While visual-perceptual face patches in posterior parts of the brain have been studied for over a decade, the existence and properties of face-selective regions in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a relatively new area of research. While regions of OFC are imp...
