Hierarchical organization of social action features along the lateral visual pathway

E McMahon, MF Bonner, L Isik - Current Biology, 2023 - cell.com
Recent theoretical work has argued that in addition to the classical ventral (what) and dorsal
(where/how) visual streams, there is a third visual stream on the lateral surface of the brain …

TMS disruption of the lateral prefrontal cortex increases neural activity in the default mode network when naming facial expressions

D Pitcher, MW Sliwinska, D Kaiser - Social cognitive and …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Recognizing facial expressions is dependent on multiple brain networks specialized for
different cognitive functions. In the current study, participants (N= 20) were scanned using …

Identifying the cortical face network with dynamic face stimuli: A large group fMRI study

D Pitcher, G Ianni, K Holiday, L Ungerleider - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have identified a network of face-
selective regions distributed across the human brain. In the present study, we analyzed data …

Moving and Static Faces, Bodies, Objects, and Scenes Are Differentially Represented across the Three Visual Pathways

E Küçük, M Foxwell, D Kaiser, D Pitcher - Journal of Cognitive …, 2024 - direct.mit.edu

Multivariate functional neuroimaging analyses reveal that strength-dependent face expectations are represented in higher-level face-identity areas

H Blank, A Alink, C Büchel - Communications Biology, 2023 - nature.com
Perception is an active inference in which prior expectations are combined with sensory
input. It is still unclear how the strength of prior expectations is represented in the human …

Visual to default network pathways: A double dissociation between semantic and spatial cognition

TRJ Gonzalez Alam, K Krieger-Redwood, D Varga… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
