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 …

Inferior temporal cortex (IT) is a key part of the ventral visual pathway implicated in object,
face, and scene perception. But how does IT work? Here, I describe an organizational …

A central assumption of neuroscience is that long-term memories are represented by the
same brain areas that encode sensory stimuli. Neurons in inferotemporal (IT) cortex …

The adult primate visual system comprises a series of hierarchically organized areas. Each
cortical area contains a topographic map of visual space, with different areas extracting …

Visual-object processing culminates in inferior temporal cortex (IT). To assess the
organization of IT, we measured functional magnetic resonance imaging responses in alert …

Face cells are neurons that respond more to faces than to non-face objects. They are found
in clusters in the inferotemporal cortex, thought to process faces specifically, and, hence …

Recently it has been suggested that multivariate analyses of functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) data can detect high spatial frequency components of cortical signals, like …

Understanding the process by which the cerebral hemispheres reach their mature functional
organization remains challenging. We propose a theoretical account in which, in the domain …

Humans rely heavily on shape similarity among objects for object categorization and
identification. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have shown that …

Primate inferotemporal cortex is subdivided into domains for biologically important
categories, such as faces, bodies and scenes, as well as domains for culturally entrained …
