Multivariate Patterns in Object-Selective Cortex Dissociate Perceptual and Physical Shape Similarity
Prior research has identified the lateral occipital complex (LOC) as a critical cortical region for the representation of object shape in humans. However, little is known about the nature of the representations contained in the LOC and their relationship to the perceptual experience of shape. We used human functional MRI to measure the physical, behavioral, and neural similarity between pairs o...
متن کاملPerceptual learning of object shape.
Recognition of objects is accomplished through the use of cues that depend on internal representations of familiar shapes. We used a paradigm of perceptual learning during visual search to explore what features human observers use to identify objects. Human subjects were trained to search for a target object embedded in an array of distractors, until their performance improved from near-chance ...
متن کاملSelective perceptual impairments after perirhinal cortex ablation.
It has been suggested that the primate perirhinal cortex contributes exclusively to memory. However, recent studies in macaque monkeys have implied that the perirhinal cortex may also contribute to object perception. To investigate whether the perirhinal cortex does contribute to perception, we devised several perceptual oddity tasks in which monkeys had to choose which stimulus of several pres...
متن کاملRetrieval by Shape Similarity with Perceptual Distance and Effective Indexing
An important problem in accessing and retrieving visual information is to provide efficient similarity matching in large databases. Though much work is being done on the investigation of suitable perceptual models and the automatic extraction of features, little attention is given to the combination of useful representations and similarity models with efficient index structures. In this paper w...
متن کاملSubordinate Categorization Enhances the Neural Selectivity in Human Object-selective Cortex for Fine Shape Differences
There is substantial evidence that object representations in adults are dynamically updated by learning. However, it is not clear to what extent these effects are induced by active processing of visual objects in a particular task context on top of the effects of mere exposure to the same objects. Here we show that the task does matter. We performed an event-related fMRI adaptation study in whi...
