The role of the parahippocampal cortex in cognition
The parahippocampal cortex (PHC) has been associated with many cognitive processes,
including visuospatial processing and episodic memory. To characterize the role of PHC in …

Scene perception in the human brain
Humans are remarkably adept at perceiving and understanding complex real-world scenes.
Uncovering the neural basis of this ability is an important goal of vision science …

Understanding human object vision: a picture is worth a thousand representations
Objects are the core meaningful elements in our visual environment. Classic theories of
object vision focus upon object recognition and are elegant and simple. Some of their …

Organization of high-level visual cortex in human infants
How much of the structure of the human mind and brain is already specified at birth, and
how much arises from experience? In this article, we consider the test case of extrastriate …

Mid-level visual features underlie the high-level categorical organization of the ventral stream
Human object-selective cortex shows a large-scale organization characterized by the high-
level properties of both animacy and object size. To what extent are these neural responses …

Selective responses to faces, scenes, and bodies in the ventral visual pathway of infants
Three of the most robust functional landmarks in the human brain are the selective
responses to faces in the fusiform face area (FFA), scenes in the parahippocampal place …

Dissociations and associations between shape and category representations in the two visual pathways
The dorsal and ventral visual pathways represent both visual and conceptual object
properties. Yet the relative contribution of these two factors in the representational content of …

The occipital place area is causally and selectively involved in scene perception
Functional magnetic resonance imaging has revealed a set of regions selectively engaged
in visual scene processing: the parahippocampal place area (PPA), the retrosplenial …

Contributions of low-and high-level properties to neural processing of visual scenes in the human brain
Visual scene analysis in humans has been characterized by the presence of regions in
extrastriate cortex that are selectively responsive to scenes compared with objects or faces …

The neural bases of spatial frequency processing during scene perception
Theories on visual perception agree that scenes are processed in terms of spatial
frequencies. Low spatial frequencies (LSF) carry coarse information whereas high spatial …
