Dissociating task performance from fMRI repetition attenuation in ventral visual cortex.
Repeated visual stimuli elicit reduced neural responses compared with novel stimuli in various brain regions (repetition attenuation). This effect has become a powerful tool in fMRI research, allowing researchers to investigate the stimulus-specific neuronal representations underlying perception and cognition. Repetition attenuation is also commonly associated with behavioral priming, whereby r...
متن کاملSpatially specific FMRI repetition effects in human visual cortex.
The functional MRI (fMRI) response to a pair of identical, successively presented stimuli can result in a smaller signal than the presentation of two nonidentical stimuli. This "repetition effect" has become a frequently used tool to make inferences about neural selectivity in specific cortical areas. However, little is known about the mechanism(s) underlying the effect. In particular, despite ...
متن کاملAn fMRI study of human visual cortex in response to spatiotemporal properties of visual stimuli
ABSTRACT Background: The brain response to temporal frequencies (TF) has been already reported, but with no study reported for different TF with respect to various spatial frequencies (SF). Materials and Methods: fMRI was performed by 1.5T GE-system in 14 volunteers during checkerboard, with TFs of 4, 6, 8 and 10Hz in low and high SFs of 0.5 and 8cpd. Results: Average percentage BOLD signa...
متن کاملDissociating working memory from task difficulty in human prefrontal cortex.
A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was conducted to determine whether prefrontal cortex (PFC) increases activity in working memory (WM) tasks as a specific result of the demands placed on WM, or to other processes affected by the greater difficulty of such tasks. Increased activity in dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) was observed during task conditions that placed demands on active ma...
متن کاملRepetition Suppression in Ventral Visual Cortex Is Diminished as a Function of Increasing Autistic Traits
Repeated viewing of a stimulus causes a change in perceptual sensitivity, known as a visual aftereffect. Similarly, in neuroimaging, repetitions of the same stimulus result in a reduction in the neural response, known as repetition suppression (RS). Previous research shows that aftereffects for faces are reduced in both children with autism and in first-degree relatives. With functional magneti...
