Face detection is a priority of both the human and primate visual system. However, occasionally we misperceive faces in inanimate objects –– "face pareidolia". A key feature of these 'false positives' is that face perception occurs in the absence of visual features typical of real faces. Human faces are known to be located faster than objects in visual search. Here we used a visual search paradigm to test whether illusory faces share this advantage. Search times were faster for illusory faces than for matched objects amongst both matched (Experiment 1) and diverse (Experiment 2) distractors, however search times for real human faces were faster and more efficient than objects with or without an illusory face. Importantly, this result indicates that illusory faces are processed quickly enough by the human brain to confer a visual search advantage, suggesting the engagement of a broadly-tuned mechanism that facilitates rapid face detection in cluttered environments.

物体中虚幻面孔的视觉搜索优势

人脸检测是人类和灵长类动物视觉系统的优先事项。但是,有时我们会误以为无生命的物体中的面孔-“面孔pareidolia”。这些“假阳性”的关键特征是面部感知发生在没有真实面部典型的视觉特征的情况下。已知人脸的定位速度比视觉搜索中的物体定位快。在这里,我们使用视觉搜索范式来测试虚幻的面孔是否具有这种优势。虚幻人脸的搜索时间比匹配的(实验1)和多样化(实验2)的干扰物中的匹配对象要快,但是,真实人脸的搜索时间比有或没有幻像的对象的搜索时间更快,效率更高。重要的,
