Much of the visual cortex is organized into visual field maps: nearby neurons have receptive
fields at nearby locations in the image. Mammalian species generally have multiple visual …

The visual recognition of complex movements and actions is crucial for the survival of many
species. It is important not only for communication and recognition at a distance, but also for …

These experiments use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to reveal neural
activity uniquely associated with perception of biological motion. We isolated brain areas …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to identify and map the
representation of the visual field in seven areas of human cerebral cortex and to identify at …

Diffusion-weighted imaging coupled with tractography is currently the only method for in vivo
mapping of human white-matter fascicles. Tractography takes diffusion measurements as …

A still photograph of an object in motion may convey dynamic information about the position
of the object immediately before and after the photograph was taken (implied motion) …

In monkeys, posterior parietal and premotor cortex play an important integrative role in
polymodal motion processing. In contrast, our understanding of the convergence of senses …

Theories of vision posit that form and motion are represented by neural mechanisms
segregated into functionally and anatomically distinct pathways. Using point-light animations …

The advent of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in non-human primates has
facilitated comparison of the neurobiology of cognitive functions in humans and macaque …

Is there an objective, biological basis for the experience of beauty in art? Or is aesthetic
experience entirely subjective? Using fMRI technique, we addressed this question by …
