Evidence for a third visual pathway specialized for social perception
D Pitcher, LG Ungerleider - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2021 - cell.com
Existing models propose that primate visual cortex is divided into two functionally distinct
pathways. The ventral pathway computes the identity of an object; the dorsal pathway …
