Privileged coding of convex shapes in human object-selective cortex.
What is the neural code for object shape? Despite intensive research, the precise nature of object representations in high-level visual cortex remains elusive. Here we use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to show that convex shapes are encoded in a privileged fashion by human lateral occipital complex (LOC), a region that has been implicated in object recognition. On each trial, two...
متن کاملObject-specific semantic coding in human perirhinal cortex.
Category-specificity has been demonstrated in the human posterior ventral temporal cortex for a variety of object categories. Although object representations within the ventral visual pathway must be sufficiently rich and complex to support the recognition of individual objects, little is known about how specific objects are represented. Here, we used representational similarity analysis to det...
متن کاملCoding of Object Size and Object Category in Human Visual Cortex.
A salient aspect of objects is their real-world size. Large objects tend to be fixed in the world and can act as navigational barriers and landmarks, whereas small objects tend to be moveable and manipulable. Previous work has identified regions of visual cortex that respond differentially to large versus small objects, but the role of size in organizing representations of object categories has...
متن کاملTitle: Object-selective Cortex Exhibits Performance-independent Repetition Suppression Performance-independent Rs in Object Cortex -2
Object-selective cortical regions exhibit a decreased response when an object stimulus is repeated (repetition suppression, RS). RS is often associated with priming: reduced response times and increased accuracy for repeated stimuli. It is unknown whether RS reflects stimulus-specific repetition, the associated changes in response time, or the combination of the two. To address this question, w...
متن کاملTransformation from independent to integrative coding of multi-object arrangements in human visual cortex
To optimize processing, the human visual system utilizes regularities present in naturalistic visual input. One of these regularities is the relative position of objects in a scene (e.g., a sofa in front of a television), with behavioral research showing that regularly positioned objects are easier to perceive and to remember. Here we use fMRI to test how positional regularities are encoded in ...
