TLDR
The functional properties of the lateral and ventral occipito-temporal areas are found to be important in visual recognition of objects and faces as mentioned in this paper, and the correlation between activation of these regions and visual recognition has been found.About:

Repetition and the brain: neural models of stimulus-specific effects
TL;DR: This work considers three models that have been proposed to account for repetition-related reductions in neural activity, and evaluates them in terms of their ability to accounts for the main properties of this phenomenon as measured with single-cell recordings and neuroimaging techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intersubject Synchronization of Cortical Activity During Natural Vision
TL;DR: A striking level of voxel-by-voxel synchronization between individuals is found, not only in primary and secondary visual and auditory areas but also in association cortices, which reveals a surprising tendency of individual brains to “tick collectively” during natural vision.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Representation of Object Concepts in the Brain
TL;DR: Functional neuroimaging of the human brain indicates that information about salient properties of an object is stored in sensory and motor systems active when that information was acquired, suggesting that object concepts are not explicitly represented, but rather emerge from weighted activity within property-based brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Object Perception as Bayesian Inference
TL;DR: This work has shown how complexity may be managed and ambiguity resolved through the task-dependent, probabilistic integration of prior object knowledge with image features.
Journal ArticleDOI
The human visual cortex
TL;DR: Recent findings and methods employed to uncover the functional properties of the human visual cortex focusing on two themes: functional specialization and hierarchical processing are reviewed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distributed human neural system for face perception.
TL;DR: A model for the organization of this system that emphasizes a distinction between the representation of invariant and changeable aspects of faces is proposed and is hierarchical insofar as it is divided into a core system and an extended system.

Distributed and Overlapping Representations of Faces and Objects in Ventral Temporal Cortex
James V. Haxby,M. Ida Gobbini,Maura L. Furey,Alumit Ishai,Jennifer L. Schouten,Pietro Pietrini +5 more
TL;DR: The functional architecture of the object vision pathway in the human brain was investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure patterns of response in ventral temporal cortex while subjects viewed faces, cats, five categories of man-made objects, and nonsense pictures, and a distinct pattern of response was found for each stimulus category.

A cortical representation of the local visual environment
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that a particular area within human parahippocampal cortex is involved in a critical component of navigation: perceiving the local visual environment, and it is proposed that the PPA represents places by encoding the geometry of the local environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cortical area selective for visual processing of the human body
TL;DR: A series of functional magnetic resonance imaging studies revealing substantial evidence for a distinct cortical region in humans that responds selectively to images of the human body, as compared with a wide range of control stimuli.
