Real-life visual object recognition requires the processing of more than just geometric
(shape, size, and orientation) properties. Surface properties such as color and texture are …

Previous neuroimaging research suggests that although object shape is analyzed in the
lateral occipital cortex, surface properties of objects, such as color and texture, are dealt with …

We carried out 2 functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments to investigate the
cortical mechanisms underlying the contribution of form and surface properties to object …

We recently demonstrated that attending to the form of objects and attending to their surface
properties activated anatomically distinct regions of occipito-temporal cortex (Cant and …

What is the neural code for object shape? Despite intensive research, the precise nature of
object representations in high-level visual cortex remains elusive. Here we use functional …

We used fMRI on neurologically intact humans to investigate whether or not there are
different neural substrates for the different kinds of information that a visual surface signals …

Prior research has identified the lateral occipital complex (LOC) as a critical cortical region
for the representation of object shape in humans. However, little is known about the nature …

Shape and texture provide cues to object identity, both when objects are explored using
vision and via touch (haptics). Visual shape information is processed within the lateral …

DF, a patient with severe visual form agnosia, has been the subject of extensive research
during the past decade. The fact that she could process visual input accurately for the …

We used human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to test whether the human
lateral occipital complex (LOC), an area known to be involved in the analysis of visual …
