Cross-modal correspondence has been consistently evidenced between shapes and other
sensory attributes. Especially, the curvature of shapes may arouse the affective account …

We here extend and complement our earlier time-based, magneto-encephalographic
(MEG), study of the processing of forms by the visual brain (Shigihara and Zeki,) with a …

To investigate the role of human fusiform gyrus in shape processing, we determined the
effect of shape degradation on BOLD contrast in this region with fMRI during three tasks …

Using fMRI in anesthetized monkeys, this study investigates how the primate visual system
constructs representations of three-dimensional (3D) shape from a variety of cues. Computer …

We used functional MRI (fMRI) to determine the cortical regions activated during processing
of visual object shape in humans in six men and three women, using a paradigm with a …

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 …

Two experiments are reported that used fMRI to compare the brain activation during the
imagery of material and geometric object features. In the first experiment, participants were …

Humans are highly adept at multisensory processing of object shape in both vision and
touch. Previous studies have mostly focused on where visually perceived object-shape …

Prior behavioral studies suggested that global perception of compound stimuli is modulated
by the way the local elements are grouped into global structures. The current work examined …

Humans rely heavily on shape similarity among objects for object categorization and
identification. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have shown that …
