• Towards the neurobiology of emotional body language (2006, unknown): “Functional MRI studies in humans 32 indicate that a region near the middle occipital gyrus (known as the extrastriate body area, EBA) responds selectively to bodies but shows little response to isolated faces 33–35 .”
• An algorithmic method for functionally defining regions of interest in the ventral visual pathway (2012, unknown): “A threshold of p b 0.0001 was chosen because it has been used in numerous previous reports on ventral visual stream fROIs (e.g., Downing et al., 2001; Epstein and Kanwisher, 1998; Grill-Spector et al., 2004; Kanwisher et al., 1997; Spiridon et al., 2006; Yovel and Kanwisher, 2005).”
• A continuous semantic space describes the representation of thousands of object and action categories across the human brain (2012, unknown): “…Clark et al., 1996; Halgren et al., 1999; Kanw-isher et al., 1997; McCarthy et al., 1997; Rajimehr et al., 2009; Tsao et al., 2008), body parts (Downing et al., 2001; Peelen and Downing, 2005; Schwarzlose et al., 2005), outdoor scenes (Aguirre et al., 1998; Epstein and Kanwisher, 1998), and…”
• How do we perceive the pain of others? A window into the neural processes involved in empathy (2005, unknown): “Fig. 3. Clusters of bilateral activation found in the lateral occipito-temporal cortex corresponding to the body selective region EBA; see Downing et al., 2001 .”
• The fusiform face area: a cortical region specialized for the perception of faces (2006, unknown): “Interestingly, regions selective for faces and bodies are also nearby or adjacent in the region of the STS in humans (Downing et al. 2001), and they are also adjacent in macaques (Tsao et al.”
• Neuroscientific Evidence for Simulation and Shared Substrates in Emotion Recognition: Beyond Faces (2009, unknown): “In humans, the evidence points to two distinct regions, dubbed the extrastriate body area (EBA), located in lateral occipitotemporal cortex (Downing et al., 2001), and the fusiform body area (FBA), located in fusiform gyrus (Peelen & Downing, 2005; Schwarzlose, Baker, & Kanwisher, 2005).”
• Too real for comfort? Uncanny responses to computer generated faces (2009, unknown): “specialization for face perception is still contested ( Downing, Jiang, Shuman, & Kanwisher, 2001; Gauthier & Logothetis, 2000; Haxby et al., 2001; Spiridon & Kanwisher, 2002).”
• Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) "brain reading": detecting and classifying distributed patterns of fMRI activity in human visual cortex (2003, unknown): “…are averaged to reveal slight differences in activation, the use of pattern recognition methods allows a subtle 10-way discrimination to be performed on an essentially trial-by-trial basis within individuals, demonstrating that fMRI data contain far more information than is typically appreciated.”
