TL;DR: The results suggest that human observers are highly sensitive to many abstract properties of visual stimulation, but that they are not sensitive to all of the information that is potentially available.

TL;DR: Intraparietal areas showed significant 3D-SFM activation in humans but not in monkeys, which suggests that human intraparietal cortex contains visuospatial processing areas that are not present in monkeys.

TL;DR: These findings suggest that the perceptual representation of 3D shape involves a relatively abstract data structure that is based primarily on qualitative properties that can be reliably determined from visual information.

TL;DR: MR responses to a range of visual stimuli indicate that the human IPS contains more functional regions along its anterior-posterior extent than are known in the monkey, and these data support the hypothesis that monkey LIP corresponds to the region of human IPS between DIPSM and POIPS and that a portion of the anterior part of humanIPS is evolutionarily new.

TL;DR: The results reveal that the apparent patterns of relief from texture are systematically underestimated; convex surfaces appear to have greater depth than concave surfaces, large camera angles produce greater amounts of perceived depth than small camera angles, and the apparent depth-to-width ratio for a given image of a surface is greater for small viewing angles than for large viewing angles.
