Abstract: Humans rely heavily on shape similarity among objects for object categorization and identification. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have shown that a large region in human occipitotemporal cortex processes the shape of meaningful as well as unfamiliar objects. Here, we investigate whether the functional organization of this region as measured with fMRI is related to perceived shape similarity. We found that unfamiliar object classes that are rated as having a similar shape were assoc… Show more

“…These were primarily included because Op de Beeck et al (2008b) found that perceptual similarity predicted both LO and pFs activity, whereas found that perceptual similarity only predicted activity in pFs. Therefore, our behavioral components aimed to address the ambiguity regarding the role of perceptual shape similarity for neural representations in LO and pFs.…”

“…These differing approaches persist primarily because category-selective areas appear to have far weaker retinotopy than early visual areas (Sayres and Grill-Spector, 2008), implying that such areas might map other (more "abstract") dimensions of stimulus content (Op de Beeck et al, 2008a).…”

“…Note that in early visual areas object information is organized retinotopically, but in later visual areas organization is based on similarity (Op de Beeck et al, 2008). The hypothesis-testing system involves the prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, and the head of the caudate nucleus.…”
