Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging of human brain activity during primary sensory stimulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of images were acquired continuously with the same imaging pulse sequence (either gradient echo or spin-echo inversion recovery) during task activation, and a significant increase in signal intensity (paired t test; P less than 0.001) of 1.8% +/- 0.9% was observed in the primary visual cortex (V1) of seven normal volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Borders of multiple visual areas in humans revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging

TL;DR: Cortical magnification factor curves for striate and extrastriate cortical areas were determined, which showed that human visual areas have a greater emphasis on the center-of-gaze than their counterparts in monkeys.
Journal ArticleDOI

Object-related activity revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging in human occipital cortex.

TL;DR: The lateral occipital complex (LO) showed preferential activation to images of objects, compared to a wide range of texture patterns as mentioned in this paper, suggesting that objects varying widely in their recognizability (e.g., famous faces, common objects, and unfamiliar three-dimensional abstract sculptures) activated it to a similar degree.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional analysis of human MT and related visual cortical areas using magnetic resonance imaging

TL;DR: FMRI activity in human MT does in fact decrease at and near individually measured equiluminance, and area MT has a much higher contrast sensitivity than that in several other areas, including primary visual cortex (V1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of migraine aura revealed by functional MRI in human visual cortex

TL;DR: High-field functional MRI with near-continuous recording during visual aura in three subjects observed blood oxygenation level-dependent signal changes that strongly suggest that an electrophysiological event such as CSD generates the aura in human visual cortex.
