of category-consistent features (CCFs), those features occurring frequently and consistently …

Category selectivity in human visual cortex: Beyond visual object recognition

MV Peelen, PE Downing - Neuropsychologia, 2017 - Elsevier
Human ventral temporal cortex shows a categorical organization, with regions responding
selectively to faces, bodies, tools, scenes, words, and other categories. Why is this …
