Reliability of dissimilarity measures for multi-voxel pattern analysis (2016, positive): “Three functional regions were defined whose size varied between subjects: FFA (mean: 232; standard deviation: 47), PPA (mean: 266; standard deviation: 66), and the lateral occipital complex, LOC (mean: 372; standard deviation: 61), defined by the functional contrast objects N scrambled objects (Gril”
Trade-Off Aversion as an Explanation for the Attraction Effect: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study (2009, neutral): “9 A host of cognitive processes such as visual object recognition (Grill-Spector et al. 2001), number processing and cognitive control have also been associated with specific areas of the brain.”
The human visual cortex. (2004, methodology): “These regions show a greater fMRI response to images of familiar and unfamiliar objects, compared with nonobject controls (Grill-Spector et al. 2001, Kanwisher et al. 1996, Malach et al. 1995).”
Cortical and limbic activation during viewing of high- versus low-calorie foods (2003, methodology): “…of activation within the occipitotemporal junction consistent with previous work showing that this region is important for visual processing of common objects (Grill-Spector, Kourtzi, and Kanwisher, 2001) and tools (Martin, Wiggs, Ungerleider, and Haxby, 1996; Tranel, Damasio, and Damasio, 1997).”
Opposite modulation of high- and low-level visual aftereffects by perceptual grouping (2012, neutral): “A possible area is the lateral occipital area (LO) because the LO in either hemisphere is responsive to shape images presented in both the left and right visual fields [16], although it still has a contralateral preference [17].”
Recognition of natural scenes from global properties: Seeing the forest without representing the trees (2008, neutral): “Indeed, work in functional imaging has shown a dissociation between brain areas that represent scenes (the parahippocampal place area, or PPA, Epstein & Kanwisher, 1998) and those that represent individual objects ([Bar, 2004] and [Grill-Spector et al., 2001]).”
Performance-optimized hierarchical models predict neural responses in higher visual cortex (2014, background): “This ability is supported by a set of interconnected brain areas collectively called the ventral visual stream (2, 3), with homologous areas in nonhuman primates (4).”
Population receptive field estimates in human visual cortex (2008, background): “7) support the hypothesis that these regions perform functions distinct from other map clusters (Grill-Spector et al., 2001; Malach et al., 1995; Wandell et al., 2005).”
Bayesian models of object perception. (2003, background): “Earlier fMRI work by several groups (see [61]) has shown that the human lateral occipital complex (LOC) increases its activity during object perception.”
Faces and objects in macaque cerebral cortex (2003, background): “1c ) showed activation of the lateral occipital complex (LOC), a large region of non-retinotopic human ventral cortex that is significantly more responsive to intact than to scrambled object”
The first taste is always with the eyes: A meta-analysis on the neural correlates of processing visual food cues (2011, background): “The LOC is part of the visual association cortex, which is mainly known for its role in object recognition (Grill-Spector et al., 2001).”
Recurrent Processing during Object Recognition (2013, background): “…which requires the organization of image fragments that span multiple receptive ﬁelds into a logical whole Gestalt and involves the ﬁlling-in of missing visual information (Kourtzi and Kanwisher, 2001; Lerner et al., 2002; Rauschenberger et al., 2006; Weigelt et al., 2007; Wyatte et al., 2012a).”
