Specializations for chromatic and temporal signals in human visual cortex.
Neurological case studies and qualitative measurements suggest that regions within human extrastriate cortex are specialized for different perceptual functions, including color. However, there are few quantitative measurements of human extrastriate color specializations. We studied the chromatic and temporal responses in several different clusters of human visual field maps using functional mag...
متن کاملRetinotopic distribution of chromatic responses in human primary visual cortex.
In non-human primates at least three anatomically and functionally distinct channels convey signals from the retina to the primary visual cortex (V1). Two of these channels, the parvocellular and the koniocellular, are sensitive to chromatic contrasts and form the basis of color vision. In humans, common phylogenetic history with other primates and psychophysical experiments suggest identical r...
متن کاملResponses to Lightness Variations in Early Human Visual Cortex
Lightness is the apparent reflectance of a surface, and it depends not only on the actual luminance of the surface but also on the context in which the surface is viewed [1-10]. The cortical mechanisms of lightness processing are largely unknown, and the role of early cortical areas is still a matter of debate [11-17]. We studied the cortical responses to lightness variations in early stages of...
متن کاملPsychophysical channels and ERP population responses in human visual cortex: Area summation across chromatic and achromatic pathways
In the early stages of vision, information is transmitted through distinct physiologically defined pathways. These may be related with three post-receptoral detection mechanisms defined psychophysically in humans. Accordingly, the parvocellular pathway is very sensitive to L-M-cone contrast, processes mainly foveal information and underlies fine discrimination of visual features. The magnocellu...
متن کاملResponses of the human visual cortex and LGN to achromatic and chromatic temporal modulations: an fMRI study.
In this study, we investigate how the responses of the human visual pathway to temporal frequency are modified as information transfers between the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and primary visual cortex (V1) and to the extrastriate areas of the dorsal and ventral streams (V2, V3, VP, V3A, V4, and MT). We use high-field fMRI (4 T) to record simultaneously the responses of these areas across ...
