Tasks and their role in visual neuroscience
Vision is widely used as a model system to gain insights into how sensory inputs are
processed and interpreted by the brain. Historically, careful quantification and control of …

Beyond the Visual Word Form Area–a cognitive characterization of the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex
The left ventral occipitotemporal cortex has been traditionally viewed as a pathway for visual
object recognition including written letters and words. Its crucial role in reading was …

The transition from vision to language: Distinct patterns of functional connectivity for subregions of the visual word form area
Reading entails transforming visual symbols to sound and meaning. This process depends
on specialized circuitry in the visual cortex, the visual word form area (VWFA). Recent …

Both mOTS-words and pOTS-words prefer emoji stimuli over text stimuli during a lexical judgment task
The visual word form area in the occipitotemporal sulcus (here OTS-words) is crucial for
reading and shows a preference for text stimuli. We hypothesized that this text preference …

Visual word processing engages a hierarchical, distributed, and bilateral cortical network
Summary Although the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) in left temporal cortex is considered
the pre-eminent region in visual word processing, other regions are also implicated. We …

Reading reshapes stimulus selectivity in the visual word form area
Reading depends on a brain region known as the “visual word form area”(VWFA) in the left
ventral occipitotemporal cortex. This region's function is debated because its stimulus …

[HTML][HTML] Mechanisms underlying category learning in the human ventral occipito-temporal cortex
The human ventral occipito-temporal cortex (VOTC) has evolved into specialized regions
that process specific categories, such as words, tools, and animals. The formation of these …

Evaluating cognitive penetrability of perception across the senses
A central question about the human mind is whether perception is an encapsulated process
driven purely by sensory information or whether it is intricately linked with cognitive …

[HTML][HTML] Processing demands modulate the activities and functional connectivity patterns of the posterior (VWFA-1) and anterior (VWFA-2) VWFA
A Li, C Chen, X Wu, Y Feng, J Yang, X Feng, R Hu… - NeuroImage, 2024 - Elsevier
Previous studies have shown that the visual word form area (VWFA) has structural and
intrinsic functional connectivity with both language and attention networks. Nevertheless, it is …

The representational nature of spatio-temporal recurrent processing in visual object recognition
The human brain orchestrates object vision through an interplay of feedforward processing
in concert with recurrent processing. However, where, when and how recurrent processing …
