While it is widely known that humans are typically highly accurate at recognizing familiar faces, less clear how efficiently recognition achieved. In a series of three experiments, we used event-related brain potentials (ERP) in repetition priming paradigm to examine the efficiency face recognition. Specifically, varied presentation time prime stimulus between 500 ms and 33 (Experiments 1 2), additionally backward masks (Experiment 3) prevent potential occurrence visual aftereffects. Crucially, test for facial identity rather than specific picture, different images same identities conditions. We observed ERP effects 300 after target onset all durations, which suggests was sufficiently well processed allow facilitated This finding held true even severely restricted viewing conditions including very brief durations masks. conclude system both effective efficient, thus allowing our impressive ability recognise faces know.
