Visual categorization is thought to occur in the human ventral temporal cortex (VTC), but
how this categorization is achieved is still largely unknown. In this Review, we consider the …

Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …

Modular and distributed coding theories of category selectivity along the human ventral
visual stream have long existed in tension. Here, we present a reconciling framework …

Inferior temporal (IT) cortex in human and nonhuman primates serves visual object
recognition. Computational object-vision models, although continually improving, do not yet …

The primate visual system achieves remarkable visual object recognition performance even
in brief presentations, and under changes to object exemplar, geometric transformations …

Convolutional neural network (CNN) driven by image recognition has been shown to be
able to explain cortical responses to static pictures at ventral-stream areas. Here, we further …

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 …

Is there a distinct area within the human visual system that has a preferential response to
numerals, as there is for faces, words, or scenes? We addressed this question using …

The unique way in which each of us perceives the world must arise from our brain
representations. If brain imaging could reveal an individual's unique mental representation …

Fifteen years ago, an intriguing area was found in human visual cortex. This area (the
parahippocampal place area [PPA]) was initially interpreted as responding selectively to …
