Scene perception in the human brain
RA Epstein, CI Baker - Annual review of vision science, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Humans are remarkably adept at perceiving and understanding complex real-world scenes.
Uncovering the neural basis of this ability is an important goal of vision science …

Neural systems for landmark-based wayfinding in humans
RA Epstein, LK Vass - … of the Royal Society B: Biological …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Humans and animals use landmarks during wayfinding to determine where they are in the
world and to guide their way to their destination. To implement this strategy, known as …

A real-world size organization of object responses in occipitotemporal cortex
While there are selective regions of occipitotemporal cortex that respond to faces, letters,
and bodies, the large-scale neural organization of most object categories remains unknown …

Outside looking in: landmark generalization in the human navigational system
The use of landmarks is central to many navigational strategies. Here we use multivoxel
pattern analysis of fMRI data to understand how landmarks are coded in the human brain …

Multiple object properties drive scene-selective regions
V Troiani, A Stigliani, ME Smith, RA Epstein - Cerebral cortex, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Neuroimaging studies have identified brain regions that respond preferentially to specific
stimulus categories, including 3 areas that activate maximally during viewing of real-world …

Fourier power, subjective distance, and object categories all provide plausible models of BOLD responses in scene-selective visual areas
Perception of natural visual scenes activates several functional areas in the human brain,
including the Parahippocampal Place Area (PPA), Retrosplenial Complex (RSC), and the …

Blood oxygen level-dependent activation of the primary visual cortex predicts size adaptation illusion
In natural scenes, objects rarely occur in isolation but appear within a spatiotemporal
context. Here, we show that the perceived size of a stimulus is significantly affected by the …

Distinct familiarity-based response patterns for faces and buildings in perirhinal and parahippocampal cortex
An unresolved question in our understanding of the medial temporal lobes is how functional
differences between structures pertaining to stimulus category relate to the distinction …

Coding of object size and object category in human visual cortex
A salient aspect of objects is their real-world size. Large objects tend to be fixed in the world
and can act as navigational barriers and landmarks, whereas small objects tend to be …

Resting-state fMRI reveals functional connectivity between face-selective perirhinal cortex and the fusiform face area related to face inversion
Studies examining the neural correlates of face perception and recognition in humans have
revealed multiple brain regions that appear to play a specialized role in face processing …
