Journal ArticleDOI

Differential sensitivity of human visual cortex to faces, letterstrings, and textures: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study.

TL;DR: Different regions of ventral extrastriate cortex are specialized for processing the perceptual features of faces and letterstrings, and that these regions are intermediate between earlier processing in striate and peristriates cortex, and later lexical, semantic, and associative processing in downstream cortical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrophysiological Studies of Human Face Perception. I: Potentials Generated in Occipitotemporal Cortex by Face and Non-face Stimuli

TL;DR: Event-related potentials evoked by visual stimuli in 98 patients in whom electrodes were placed directly upon the cortical surface to monitor medically intractable seizures are described, suggesting that the human ventral object recognition system is segregated into functionally discrete regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Event-related potentials, lexical decision and semantic priming

TL;DR: ERPs were recorded during a lexical decision task in order to investigate electrophysiological concomitants of semantic priming and P300, N200, and N400 differences were observed at locations over both hemispheres and were maximal in the centroparietal region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Word recognition in the human inferior temporal lobe

TL;DR: This work studied visual processing of words and word-like stimuli (letter-strings) by recording field potentials directly from the human inferior temporal lobe and showed that two discrete portions of the fusiform gyrus responded preferentially to letter-strings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Face-sensitive regions in human extrastriate cortex studied by functional MRI

TL;DR: FMRI was used to study the anatomic extent of face-sensitive brain regions and to assess hemispheric laterality and activated voxels to scrambled faces were observed in six subjects at locations mainly in the lingual gyri and collateral sulci, medial to the regions activated by faces.
