The human body, like the human face, is a rich source of socially relevant information about
other individuals. Evidence from studies of both humans and non-human primates points to …

The efficient selection of behaviorally relevant objects from cluttered environments supports
our everyday goals. Attentional selection has typically been studied in search tasks involving …

In natural vision, objects appear at typical locations, both with respect to visual space (eg, an
airplane in the upper part of a scene) and other objects (eg, a lamp above a table). Recent …

Functional neuroimaging studies have revealed human brain regions, notably in the fusiform
gyrus, that respond selectively to images of faces as opposed to other kinds of objects. …

We investigated the prevalence and specificity of category-selective regions in human visual
cortex. In the broadest survey to date of category selectivity in visual cortex, 12 participants …

Basic emotional states (such as anger, fear, and joy) can be similarly conveyed by the face,
the body, and the voice. Are there human brain regions that represent these emotional …

Accurate perception of the actions and intentions of other people is essential for successful
interactions in a social environment. Several cortical areas that support this process respond …

The visual system has an extraordinary capability to extract categorical information from
complex natural scenes. For example, subjects are able to rapidly detect the presence of object …

Event-related fMRI was used to examine the neural basis of endogenous (top-down) and
exogenous (bottom-up) spatial orienting. Shifts of attention were induced by central (…

Interaction with everyday objects requires the representation of conceptual object properties,
such as where and how an object is used. What are the neural mechanisms that support …
