Answer – The fusiform face area (FFA)

Research using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has shown that when we are paying attention to the sounds of familiar voices, the fusiform face area (FFA) is activated, but it is not activated when we are paying attention to the sounds of unfamiliar voices.
