Abstract
Earlier papers showed that the relative impairment in response to faces and facial expressions shown by right-brain-damaged subjects was reduced by using blurred stimuli. Reanalysis of these data supports the hypothesis of differential hemispheric sensitivity to spatial frequency of inputs and shows processing of expressions partially depends on the processing of faces.Keywords
