After the tests, the scans of
neural activity happening in areas known for facial recognition — as well as other types of visual recognition — were statistically identical for both men and women.

While this was
happening, the researchers measured the
activity in two parts of the monkeys» brains, the parietal lobe and the frontal lobe, which is the next place
neural signals are sent.
The only difference in that case is that the
neural activity is weaker and delayed in comparison to what
happens when an observer consciously registers and can recall having seen a particular image.
As this
happened, they used an fMRI scanner to log changes in blood oxygen levels across the brain — a sign of
neural activity.
