Audiovisual temporal correspondence modulates human multisensory superior temporal sulcus plus primary sensory cortices [PDF]
, 2007 The brain should integrate related but not unrelated information from different senses. Temporal patterning of inputs to different modalities may provide critical information about whether those inputs are related or not.

Vision: The Versatile ‘Visual’ Cortex [PDF]
Current Biology, 2004 The primary visual cortex is, of course, for vision--or so you would think. But it seems that, in blind people, the primary visual cortex can take on an important role in language processing. This suggests considerable flexibility in the processes by which subregions of the human brain become specialised for different functions.

Domain Specificity in Visual Cortex [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2005 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 were scanned with functional magnetic resonance imaging while viewing scenes and 19 different object categories in a blocked-design experiment.

The human visual system differentially represents subjectively and objectively invisible stimuli.
PLoS Biology, 2021 The study of unconscious processing requires a measure of conscious awareness. Awareness measures can be either subjective (based on participant's report) or objective (based on perceptual performance).

The pernicious danger of cortical brain maps [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The parcellation of the primate cerebral cortex into numbered regions, based on cytoarchitecture, began with the pioneering research of neuroanatomist Kobrinian Brodmann. While the borders between regions have changed somewhat, and in some cases continue to be disputed, the idea of dividing the cortex into distinct numbered areas has become central to ...

Cortical Dynamics of Contextually-Cued Attentive Visual Learning and Search: Spatial and Object Evidence Accumulation [PDF]
, 2009 How do humans use predictive contextual information to facilitate visual search? How are consistently paired scenic objects and positions learned and used to more efficiently guide search in familiar scenes?

Cultural specialization of visual cortex [PDF]
Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2018 A growing body of evidence suggests culture influences how individuals perceive the world around them. This study investigates whether these cultural differences extend to a simple object viewing task and visual cortex by examining voxel pattern representations with multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA).

Distinct causal influences of parietal versus frontal areas on human visual cortex: evidence from concurrent TMS-fMRI [PDF]
, 2010 It has often been proposed that regions of the human parietal and/or frontal lobe may modulate activity in visual cortex, for example, during selective attention or saccade preparation.
