While face processing largely operates in a face-centered reference frame, it is not devoid of retinotopic sensitivity. Addressing whether face rotation influences the orientation tuning profile of identity recognition enables a direct empirical test of the reference frame of human face identification. Forty-two young adults performed identity recognition of famous faces filtered to restrict content to narrow orientation bands (i.e., from 0\u00b0 to 150\u00b0, in 30\u00b0-steps), and presented either upright, rotated by \u00b145\u00b0, or by \u00b190\u00b0 away from upright. If the horizontal face identity information is defined along face-centered coordinates, identity recognition performance should stay tuned to the horizontal irrespective of rotation angle. Any contribution of the retina-centered reference frame should cause the peak of orientation tuning to shift away from the horizontal, in the same direction as the stimulus rotation. While overall identity recognition performance decreased when faces were rotated by \u00b190\u00b0 compared to upright and \u00b145\u00b0 rotation, it kept broadly tuned to the horizontal range of the face stimulus regardless of rotation angle. However, the advantage of the horizontal over the vertical range decreased significantly for \u00b190\u00b0 compared to upright and \u00b145\u00b0 rotations. Through the systematic investigation of the orientation tuning parameters across stimulus rotation, the present work provides quantitative evidence that the visual information driving human face-specialized identity recognition is defined within the reference frame of the face-image.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/03010066261468693","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]],"date-time":"2026-08-04T17:19:33Z","timestamp":1785863973000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dissociating retina- and face-centered reference frames of human face recognition"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-6267-1241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helene","family":"Dumont","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UCLouvain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3182-7011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Val\u00e9rie","family":"Goffaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UCLouvain"},{"name":"UCLouvain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.visres.2007.10.028"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jecp.2015.07.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2015.00772"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_1","first-page":"395","article-title":"Advanced Bayesian multilevel modeling with the R package brms","volume":"10","author":"B\u00fcrkner P.
