Contributions of low- and high-level properties to neural processing of visual scenes in the human brain

TL;DR: It is suggested that this problem can be resolved by questioning the utility of the classical low- to high-level framework of visual perception for scene processing, and why low- and mid-level properties may be particularly diagnostic for the behavioural goals specific to scene perception as compared to object recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Retinotopic Basis for the Division of High-Level Scene Processing between Lateral and Ventral Human Occipitotemporal Cortex.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that scene-selective regions exhibit strong biases for different portions of the visual field, with the lateral region representing the contralateral lower visual field and the ventral region the contralsateral upper visual field.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Direct Demonstration of Functional Differences between Subdivisions of Human V5/MT+

TL;DR: While both areas appear to be implicated in the processing of translational motion, only the anterior region (MST/TO‐2) makes a causal contribution to the perception of radial motion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct subdivisions of human medial parietal cortex support recollection of people and places.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate distinct subdivisions of the medial parietal cortex that are selectively recruited during memory recall of either specific people or places, with clear preferences for scenes and faces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scene-Selectivity and Retinotopy in Medial Parietal Cortex.

TL;DR: It is found that MPA demonstrates a significant contralateral visual field bias, coupled with large pRF sizes, and is suggested that there is posterior–anterior gradient within medial parietal cortex, with posterior regions in the POS showing retinotopically based scene-selectivity and more anterior regions showing connectivity that may be more reflective of abstract, navigationally pertinent and possibly mnemonic representations.
