fMRI reveals a lower visual field preference for hand actions in human superior parieto-occipital cortex (SPOC) and precuneus

S Rossit, T McAdam, DA Mclean, MA Goodale… - Cortex, 2013 - Elsevier
Humans are more efficient when performing actions towards objects presented in the lower
visual field (VF) than in the upper VF. The present study used slow event-related functional …

An fMRI study of visual hemifield integration and cerebral lateralization

L Strother, Z Zhou, AK Coros, T Vilis - Neuropsychologia, 2017 - Elsevier

The degree to which neural circuits involved in this process behave differently during word …

Retinotopy versus face selectivity in macaque visual cortex

R Rajimehr, NY Bilenko, W Vanduffel… - Journal of cognitive …, 2014 - direct.mit.edu
Retinotopic organization is a ubiquitous property of lower-tier visual cortical areas in human
and nonhuman primates. In macaque visual cortex, the retinotopic maps extend to higher …

Retinotopic information interacts with category selectivity in human ventral cortex

F Uyar, S Shomstein, AS Greenberg, M Behrmann - Neuropsychologia, 2016 - Elsevier
Until recently, the general consensus with respect to the organization of ventral visual cortex
is that early, retinotopic regions are sensitive to the spatial position of the input stimuli …

Functionally separable font-invariant and font-sensitive neural populations in occipitotemporal cortex

Z Zhou, T Vilis, L Strother - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2019 - direct.mit.edu
Reading relies on the rapid visual recognition of words viewed in a wide variety of fonts. We
used fMRI to identify neural populations showing reduced fMRI responses to repeated …

[HTML][HTML] The vertical position of visual information conditions spatial memory performance in healthy aging

M Durteste, L Van Poucke, S Combariza… - Communications …, 2023 - nature.com

Task-context-dependent linear representation of multiple visual objects in human parietal cortex

SK Jeong, Y Xu - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2017 - direct.mit.edu
A host of recent studies have reported robust representations of visual object information in
the human parietal cortex, similar to those found in ventral visual cortex. In ventral visual …

Figure–ground representation and its decay in primary visual cortex

L Strother, C Lavell, T Vilis - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2012 - direct.mit.edu
We used fMRI to study figure–ground representation and its decay in primary visual cortex
(V1). Human observers viewed a motion-defined figure that gradually became camouflaged …
