abstract = {The fusiform face area (FFA) is involved in face perception
to such an extent that some claim it is a brain module for
faces exclusively. The other possibility is that FFA is
modulated by experience in individuation in any visual
domain, not only faces. Here we test this latter FFA
expertise hypothesis using the game of chess as a domain of
investigation. We exploited the characteristic of chess,
which features multiple objects forming meaningful spatial
relations. In three experiments, we show that FFA activity
is related to stimulus properties and not to chess skill
directly. In all chess and non-chess tasks, experts' FFA was
more activated than that of novices' only when they dealt
with naturalistic full-board chess positions. When common
spatial relationships formed by chess objects in chess
positions were randomly disturbed, FFA was again
differentially active only in experts, regardless of the
actual task. Our experiments show that FFA contributes to
the holistic processing of domain-specific multipart stimuli
in chess experts. This suggests that FFA may not only
mediate human expertise in face recognition but, supporting
the expertise hypothesis, may mediate the automatic holistic
processing of any highly familiar multipart visual input.},
