Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, positive): “Consistent with this suggestion, a recent study found that although the majority of voxels in the fusiform face area (FFA, Kanwisher et al., 1997; Kanwisher, 2010) was suppressed for a repeated face, a subset of voxels reliably showed the reverse pattern (de Gardelle et al., 2013), termed…”
Activity flow over resting-state networks shapes cognitive task activations (2016, background): “Notably, this bifurcation mirrors the classic ‘localized’ versus ‘distributed’ neural processing debate 4–7 , such that the relationship between localized cognitive task activations and distributed FC is also relevant to this broader theoretical divide in neuroscience.”
Unsupervised learning of invariant representations with low sample complexity: the magic of sensory cortex or a new framework for machine learning? (2013, result): “Being, under these conditions, supp ( (cid:104) T x I, t (cid:105) ) = supp ( I ) + supp ( t ) we have supp ( t ) ⊆ [ − b − ¯ x, b ] − supp ( I ), i.e. eq [25] .”
An algorithmic method for functionally defining regions of interest in the ventral visual pathway (2012, methodology): “, 2010), to algorithmically identify fourteen well-studied category-selective regions of the ventral visual pathway (Kanwisher, 2010).”
Broad domain generality in focal regions of frontal and parietal cortex (2013, background): “Careful individual-subject–based analyses of fMRI data over the last 15 y have revealed a high degree of functional specificity for at least a few regions of the human brain (1).”
Interactive specialization: a domain-general framework for human functional brain development? (2011, unknown): “…debate focuses on the unresolved question whether face-sensitive cortical areas are unique for faces as a stimulus group (‘domain specificity’, Kanwisher, 2010; maturational framework), or whether such specialization is due to extensive perceptual training (‘expertise approach’, Gauthier…”
Unsupervised Learning of Invariant Representations in Hierarchical Architectures (2013, background): “This part of the theory is consistent with the existence of classspecific modules in primate cortex such as a face module and a body module [62, 63, 36].”
Unsupervised learning of invariant representations (2016, result): “This part of the theory is consistent with the existence of class-specific modules in primate cortex such as a face module and a body module [31, 32, 16].”
Task representations in neural networks trained to perform many cognitive tasks (2019, background): “It was necessary to reduce the number of task conditions to 4 from the original 36, otherwise the task variance estimates would be too noisy.”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, unknown): “Functional neuroimaging data also point to specialized regions being selectively activated during face processing (Kanwisher 2010).”
Similarity judgments and cortical visual responses reflect different properties of object and scene categories in naturalistic images (2018, result): “The anatomical locations of these clusters were then inspected to ensure that the current ROIs were consistent with those described in previously published work (Kanwisher, 2010).”
Reading with sounds: sensory substitution selectively activates the visual word form area in the blind. (2012, background): “, 2011; Tsapkini and Rapp, 2010), similar to the preferential activation of the neighboring regions for faces, scenes, objects, and body shapes (Kanwisher, 2010).”
Emotion and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Integrative Review (2017, background): “…of functional specialization (Aron, Robbins, & Poldrack, 2004; Beckmann et al., 2009; Epstein & Kanwisher, 1998; Fedorenko, Duncan, & Kanwisher, 2012; Gilbert et al., 2006; Kanwisher, 2010; Kanwisher, McDermott, & Chun, 1997; Poldrack et al., 1999; Ungerleider & Haxby, 1994; Zeki et al., 1991).”
The Invariance Hypothesis Implies Domain-Specific Regions in Visual Cortex (2014, background): “From a computational perspective, much of the debate hinges on the question of whether the algorithm implemented by the ventral stream requires subsystems or modules dedicated to the processing of a single class of stimuli [7, 8].”
