[PDF][PDF] Differential processing of objects under various viewing conditions in the human lateral occipital complex

K Grill-Spector, T Kushnir, S Edelman, G Avidan… - Neuron, 1999 - cell.com
The invariant properties of human cortical neurons cannot be studied directly by fMRI due to
its limited spatial resolution. Here, we circumvented this limitation by using fMR adaptation, …

[HTML][HTML] The COVID-19 pandemic masks the way people perceive faces

E Freud, A Stajduhar, RS Rosenbaum, G Avidan… - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
The unprecedented efforts to minimize the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic introduce a new
arena for human face recognition in which faces are partially occluded with masks. Here, …

Detailed exploration of face-related processing in congenital prosopagnosia: 2. Functional neuroimaging findings

G Avidan, U Hasson, R Malach… - Journal of cognitive …, 2005 - direct.mit.edu
Specific regions of the human occipito-temporal cortex are consistently activated in functional
imaging studies of face processing. To understand the contribution of these regions to face …

Reduced structural connectivity in ventral visual cortex in congenital prosopagnosia

C Thomas, G Avidan, K Humphreys, K Jung… - Nature …, 2009 - nature.com
Using diffusion tensor imaging and tractography, we found that a disruption in structural
connectivity in ventral occipito-temporal cortex may be the neurobiological basis for the lifelong …

Center–periphery organization of human object areas

I Levy, U Hasson, G Avidan, T Hendler… - Nature neuroscience, 2001 - nature.com
The organizing principles that govern the layout of human object-related areas are largely
unknown. Here we propose a new organizing principle in which object representations are …

[HTML][HTML] Mapping individual differences across brain network structure to function and behavior with connectome embedding

G Levakov, J Faskowitz, G Avidan, O Sporns - NeuroImage, 2021 - Elsevier
The connectome, a comprehensive map of the brain's anatomical connections, is often
summarized as a matrix comprising all dyadic connections among pairs of brain regions. This …

Congenital prosopagnosia: face-blind from birth

M Behrmann, G Avidan - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2005 - cell.com
Congenital prosopagnosia refers to the deficit in face processing that is apparent from early
childhood in the absence of any underlying neurological basis and in the presence of intact …

Configural processing in autism and its relationship to face processing

M Behrmann, G Avidan, GL Leonard, R Kimchi, B Luna… - Neuropsychologia, 2006 - Elsevier
Studies of the perceptual performance of individuals with autism have focused, to a large
extent, on two domains of visual behavior, one associated with face processing and the other …

Contrast sensitivity in human visual areas and its relationship to object recognition

G Avidan, M Harel, T Hendler… - Journal of …, 2002 - journals.physiology.org
An important characteristic of visual perception is the fact that object recognition is largely
immune to changes in viewing conditions. This invariance is obtained within a sequence of …

Detailed exploration of face-related processing in congenital prosopagnosia: 1. Behavioral findings

M Behrmann, G Avidan, JJ Marotta… - Journal of cognitive …, 2005 - direct.mit.edu
We show that five individuals with congenital prosopagnosia (CP) are impaired at face
recognition and discrimination and do not exhibit the normal superiority for upright over inverted …
