Dissociation of local and global processing in visual agnosia.

TLDR
This finding of a concomitant dissociation of local and global visual processes in the two patients supports the view that prosopagnosia as well as alexia are the most conspicuous aspects of more general alterations of visual perception.

The Fusiform Face Area: A Module in Human Extrastriate Cortex Specialized for Face Perception

TL;DR: The data allow us to reject alternative accounts of the function of the fusiform face area (area “FF”) that appeal to visual attention, subordinate-level classification, or general processing of any animate or human forms, demonstrating that this region is selectively involved in the perception of faces.

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

Can Face Recognition Really be Dissociated from Object Recognition

TL;DR: It is argued that the current literature on prosopagnosia fails to demonstrate unequivocal evidence for a disproportionate impairment for faces as compared to nonface objects, and questions regarding neuropsychological evidence for the modularity of face recognition, as well as its theoretical and methodological foundations are raised.

Concentric orientation summation in human form vision

TL;DR: As V4 provides the major input to IT, global concentric units may play an important role in analyzing complex images such as faces and deficits in the perception of concentric Glass patterns have recently been linked to prosopagnosia.

Textons, the elements of texture perception, and their interactions

Bela Julesz
- 12 Mar 1981 - 
TL;DR: Research with texture pairs having identical second-order statistics has revealed that the pre-attentive texture discrimination system cannot globally process third- and higher- order statistics, and that discrimination is the result of a few local conspicuous features, called textons.

Mathematical description of the responses of simple cortical cells.

TL;DR: It is argued that the visual cortex representation corresponds closely to the Gabor scheme owing to its advantages in treating the subsequent problem of pattern recognition.

Preattentive texture discrimination with early vision mechanisms

TL;DR: A model of human preattentive texture perception that can predict the salience of texture boundaries in any arbitrary gray-scale image and Quantitative predictions of the degree of discriminability of different texture pairs match well with experimental measurements of discriminateability in human observers.

Remarques sur le siège de la faculté du langage articulé, suivies d'une observation d'aphémie (perte de la parole)

Paul Broca
TL;DR: The pièce and l'observation que je présente à la Société anatomique viennent à l'appui des idées que professe M. Bouillaud sur le siége[§] de la faculté du langage.
