Journal ArticleDOI

Functional analysis of primary visual cortex (V1) in humans

TL;DR: Evidence for orientation selectivity in V1 is shown by measuring transient functional MRI increases produced at the change in response to gratings of differing orientations, and the bandwidth of the orientation "transients" is measured.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visual motion processing investigated using contrast agent-enhanced fMRI in awake behaving monkeys

TL;DR: FMRI signals produced by moving and stationary stimuli (random dots or lines) in fixating monkeys are mapped to clarify the relationship between the motion pathway and the dorsal stream in primates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deoxyglucose analysis of retinotopic organization in primate striate cortex

TL;DR: The 14C-labeled 2-deoxy-D-glucose method has several advantages over conventional electrophysiological mapping techniques and should prove useful in analyzing retinotopic organization in various visual areas of the brain and in different species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortical Mechanisms Specific to Explicit Visual Object Recognition

TL;DR: The cortical mechanisms associated with conscious object recognition were studied using functional magnetic resonance imaging and provide new insights into the processes underlying explicit object recognition, as well as the analysis that takes place immediately before and after recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Representation of Illusory and Real Contours in Human Cortical Visual Areas Revealed by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

TL;DR: Physiological signals obtained from human visual cortex while subjects viewed different types of contours suggest a role in surface perception for this lateral occipital region that includes V3A, V4v, V7, and V8 and finds evidence for overlapping sites of processing.
