Humans as social animals have remarkable abilities to identify different individuals and their emotional expressions through facial and body features. A visual system not only uses special perceptual processing for faces and bodies that is different from other objects, but also forms category-selective cortical regions that underpin this special processing. As a hot topic in psychological research, we are now gaining more and more new insights into the mechanisms behind psychological aspects of the face and body. This special issue aims to showcase recent empirical and theoretical advances in the studies of the face and body, including but not limited to perception, cognition, memory, development, social behavior, individual and cultural variation, and action dynamics in face and body processing. We welcome works using experimental approaches and metaanalyses, as well as reviews shedding light on the theoretical aspects. Additionally, we also welcome research on the neuro-atypical population associated with disturbances of the perception of face and body.
