Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) was used to investigate adults’ neural processing of infant faces with cleft lip/palate before and after craniofacial repair. Altered P2 and N170 amplitudes were observed, but not LPP, indicating a restorative function of repair surgery for more normative perceptual processing of infant faces, but not affective processing.
