Does face-selective cortex show a left visual field bias for centrally-viewed faces?

The left half of a centrally-viewed face contributes more strongly to recognition performance than the right. This left visual field (LVF) advantage is typically attributed to an untested assumption that face-selective cortex in the right hemisphere (RH) exhibits a contralateral bias, even for centrally-viewed faces. We tested the validity of this assumption using a behavioral measure of the LVF advantage and an fMRI experiment that measured laterality of face-selective cortex and neural contralateral bias.
