Background Experience can alter how objects are represented in the visual cortex. But
experience can take different forms. It is unknown whether the kind of visual experience …

Human object recognition is remarkably efficient. In recent years, significant advancements
have been made in our understanding of how the brain represents visual objects and …

A notable controversy in neurolinguistics is whether there is a particular brain area
specialized for visual word recognition within the visual ventral stream. We investigated this …

Shape and motion are complementary visual features and each appears to be processed in
unique cortical areas. However, object motion is a powerful cue for the perception of three …

Does the human brain represent perspectival shapes, ie, viewpoint-dependent object
shapes, especially in relatively higher-level visual areas such as the lateral occipital cortex …

The predominant view of motion and form processing in the human visual system assumes
that these two attributes are handled by separate and independent modules. Motion …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure activity in human visual
cortex, including a higher object processing area, the lateral occipital complex (LOC), and …

The advent of sensors capable of localizing portions of the brain involved in specific
computations has provided significant insights into normal visual information processing and …

Our brains represent the position of a visual stimulus egocentrically, in either retinal or
craniotopic coordinates. In addition, recent behavioral studies have shown that the stimulus …

The two hemispheres of the brain differ in their capacity for processing of information, with
the left hemisphere being specialized, or dominant, for language processing and the right …
