Category information for visually presented objects can be read out from multi-voxel patterns
of fMRI activity in ventral–temporal cortex. What is the nature and reliability of these patterns …

Abstract Objects belonging to different categories evoke reliably different fMRI activity
patterns in human occipitotemporal cortex, with the most prominent distinction being that …

We used fMRI to study the distribution of object category information in the ventral visual
pathway. Extending the findings of Haxby et al.(2001), we find that categories of stimuli can …

Visual imagery allows us to vividly imagine scenes in the absence of visual stimulation. The
likeness of visual imagery to visual perception suggests that they might share neural …

Evidence of category specificity from neuroimaging in the human visual system is generally
limited to a few relatively coarse categorical distinctions—eg, faces versus bodies, or …

We used a multi-voxel classification analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) data to determine to what extent item-specific information about complex natural …

A significant body of research in cognitive neuroscience is aimed at understanding how
object concepts are represented in the human brain. However, it remains unknown whether …

Humans are remarkably efficient at categorizing natural scenes. In fact, scene categories
can be decoded from functional MRI (fMRI) data throughout the ventral visual cortex …

The dorsal and ventral visual pathways represent both visual and conceptual object
properties. Yet the relative contribution of these two factors in the representational content of …

Category-specificity has been demonstrated in the human posterior ventral temporal cortex
for a variety of object categories. Although object representations within the ventral visual …
