A key to understanding visual cognition is to determine “where”,“when”, and “how” brain
responses reflect the processing of the specific visual features that modulate categorization …

In vivo intracranial recordings of neural activity offer a unique opportunity to understand
human brain function. Intracranial electrophysiological (iEEG) activity related to sensory …

Neuroimaging studies suggest that category-selective regions in higher-order visual cortex
are topologically organized around specific anatomical landmarks: the mid-fusiform sulcus …

Human faces are among the most salient visual stimuli and act both as socially and
emotionally relevant signals. Faces and especially faces with emotional expression receive …

Debate continues over whether the inferior occipital gyrus (IOG) or the fusiform gyrus (FG)
represents the first stage of face processing and what role these brain regions play. We …

Though the fusiform is well-established as a key node in the face perception network, its role
in facial expression processing remains unclear, due to competing models and discrepant …

In functional MRI studies, repetition suppression refers to the reduction of hemodynamic
activation to repeated stimulus presentation. For example, the repeated presentation of a …

The map of category-selectivity in human ventral temporal cortex (VTC) provides
organizational constraints to models of object recognition. One important principle is lateral …

Eye movements are a constant and essential component of natural vision, yet, most of our
knowledge about the human visual system comes from experiments that restrict them. This …

The specialised regional functionality of the mature human cortex partly emerges through
experience-dependent specialisation during early development. Our existing understanding …
