Sensory systems continuously mold themselves to the widely varying contexts in which they
must operate. Studies of these adaptations have played a long and central role in vision …

Visual coding is a highly dynamic process and continuously adapting to the current viewing
context. The perceptual changes that result from adaptation to recently viewed stimuli …

Brain regions that mediate action understanding must contain representations that are
action specific and at the same time tolerate a wide range of perceptual variance. Whereas …

Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) of fMRI data has become an important technique for
cognitive neuroscientists in recent years; however, the relationship between fMRI MVPA and …

There is growing consensus that accurate and efficient face recognition is mediated by a
neural circuit composed of a posterior “core” and an anterior “extended” set of regions. Here …

Our understanding of the neural underpinnings of perception is largely built upon studies
employing 2-dimensional (2D) planar images. Here we used slow event-related functional …

Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of functional magnetic
resonance imaging studies seeking to answer questions about how the brain represents …

In order to recognize the identity of a face we need to distinguish very similar images
(specificity) while also generalizing identity information across image transformations such …

Regions of the occipital and temporal lobes, including a region in the fusiform gyrus (FG),
have been proposed to constitute a “core” visual representation system for faces, in part …

Familiarity alters face recognition: Familiar faces are recognized more accurately than
unfamiliar ones and under difficult viewing conditions when unfamiliar face recognition fails …
