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 …

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

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 …

Visual context influences our perception of target objects in natural scenes. However, little is
known about the analysis of context information and its role in shape perception in 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 …

We used an event-related fMR-adaptation paradigm to investigate changes in BOLD activity
in the dorsal and ventral visual streams as a function of object identity and object orientation …

The integration of local elements to coherent forms is at the core of understanding visual
perception. Accumulating evidence suggests that both early retinotopic and higher …

The way information about objects is represented in visual cortex remains controversial. It is
unclear, for example, whether information is processed in modules, specialized for different …

Perception entails interactions between activated brain visual areas and the records of
previous sensations, allowing for processes like figure–ground segregation and object …
