A subcortical pathway through the superior colliculus and pulvinar to the amygdala is
commonly assumed to mediate the non-conscious processing of affective visual stimuli. We …

Faces play a crucial role in social interactions. Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) refers to
the lifelong difficulty in recognizing faces despite the absence of obvious signs of brain …

Human visual cortex contains many retinotopic and category-specific regions. These brain
regions have been the focus of a large body of functional magnetic resonance imaging …

Here, we systematically explore the size and spacing requirements for identifying a letter
among other letters. We measure acuity for flanked and unflanked letters, centrally and …

Although interactivity is considered a fundamental principle of cognitive (and computational)
models of reading, it has received far less attention in neural models of reading that instead …

The human ventral visual stream consists of several areas that are considered processing
stages essential for perception and recognition. A fundamental microanatomical feature …

Functional localizers are routinely used in neuroimaging studies to test hypotheses about
the function of specific brain areas. The specific tasks and stimuli used to localize particular …

Visual information processing contains two opposite needs. There is both a need to
comprehend the richness of the visual world and a need to extract only pertinent visual …

Visual motion processing is often attributed to the dorsal visual pathway despite visual
motion's involvement in almost all visual functions. Furthermore, some visual motion tasks …

Visual shape completion recovers object shape, size, and number from spatially segregated
edges. Despite being extensively investigated, the process's underlying brain regions …
