Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has a major impact on the development and social
integration of affected individuals and is the most heritable of psychiatric disorders. An …

Face perception, perhaps the most highly developed visual skill in humans, is mediated by a
distributed neural system in humans that is comprised of multiple, bilateral regions. We …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has transformed our understanding of the human brain
through well-replicated mapping of abilities to specific structures (for example, lesion …

Materials and Methods General Design This study had three main parts. In Part I, we
searched for any occipitotemporal areas that might be specialized for face perception by …

Information Visualization: Perception for Design, Fourth Edition explores the art and science
of why we see objects the way we do. Based on the science of perception and vision, the …

Empathy is a lay term that is becoming increasingly viewed as a unitary function within the
field of cognitive neuroscience. In this paper, a selective review of the empathy literature is …

Functional imaging studies of emotional processing typically contain neutral control
conditions that serve to remove simple effects of visual perception, thus revealing the …

Expertise with unfamiliar objects ('greebles') recruits face-selective areas in the fusiform
gyrus (FFA) and occipital lobe (OFA). Here we extend this finding to other homogeneous …

The first steps in the process of reading a printed word belong to the domain of visual object
perception. They culminate in a representation of letter strings as an ordered set of abstract …

Recent functional brain imaging studies suggest that object concepts may be represented, in
part, by distributed networks of discrete cortical regions that parallel the organization of …
