Functional MRI analysis of body and body part representations in the extrastriate and fusiform body areas.
This study examined the contributions of two previously identified brain regions-the extrastriate and fusiform body areas (EBA and FBA)-to the visual representation of the human form. Specifically we measured in these two areas the magnitude of fMRI response as a function of the amount of the human figure that is visible in the image, in the range from a single finger to the entire body. A seco...

متن کاملDifferential development of selectivity for faces and bodies in the fusiform gyrus.
Viewing faces or bodies activates category-selective areas of visual cortex, including the fusiform face area (FFA), fusiform body area (FBA), and extrastriate body area (EBA). Here, using fMRI, we investigate the development of these areas, focusing on the right FFA and FBA. Despite the overlap of functionally defined FFA and FBA (54%-75% overlap), we found that these regions developed along d...
متن کاملDissociation of extrastriate body and biological-motion selective areas by manipulation of visual-motor congruency
To date, several posterior brain regions have been identified that play a role in the visual perception of other people and their movements. The aim of the present study is to understand how these areas may be involved in relating body movements to their visual consequences. We used fMRI to examine the extrastriate body area (EBA), the fusiform body area (FBA), and an area in the posterior supe...
متن کاملfMRI-adaptation studies of viewpoint tuning in the extrastriate and fusiform body areas.
People are easily able to perceive the human body across different viewpoints, but the neural mechanisms underpinning this ability are currently unclear. In three experiments, we used functional MRI (fMRI) adaptation to study the view-invariance of representations in two cortical regions that have previously been shown to be sensitive to visual depictions of the human body--the extrastriate and...
