Perceived Size Modulates Cortical Processing of Objects
… suggest activations in these object recognition areas and others, such as the fusiform face area (FFA) and extra-striate body area (EBA), are collinear with activations associated with the perception scenes and buildings. Together, this information warrants the focus of the proposed study: to …

Aging and Ventral -Visual Dedifferentiation of Perceptual Representations
… different categories of visual stimuli such as faces and houses that typically elicit highly specialized responses in specific regions of young adult brains. Cross-category ventral visual dedifferentiation may arise because of reduced neuronal selectivity for different types of visual stimuli …

Surface Based Decoding of Fusiform Face Area Reveals Relationship Between SNR and Accuracy in Support Vector Regression
… (fMRI) data restricted to the cortical surface. Our goal is to enhance the utility of low cost, portable imaging modalities, such as functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which is limited in signal penetration depth. Previous work in the lab successfully employed functional …

Interrogating the infant mind with fMRI
… awake infants observed preferential responses to faces [5,6] and scenes [5]. In Chapter 3 I show that with increased power, we can detect infants’ (2-9 months) face-selective responses in the fusiform face area (FFA), scene-selective responses in the parahippocampal place area (PPA), and …

MEG correlates of visual perception : the M170 response to degraded face and building images
Introduction: Knowing how the brain processes faces is valuable to scientists, clinicians, and industry How does seeing a face eventually lead to recognition: e.g. "that's Jill." Many reports (including this one) are interested in this question, due to its intrinsic scientific appeal and …

Network Dynamics of Visual Object Recognition
… distributed models of information flow during face perception via measurements of cortical activation, functional and structural connectivity, and transient disruption through electrical stimulation. We found that input from early visual cortex (EVC) to two face-selective regions – the …
