High-resolution 7T fMRI reveals the visual sensory zone of the human claustrum

This study uses 7T fMRI to show distinct visual responses in the human claustrum, supporting its role in sensory processing.

Distributed illusory figure-ground segmentation signatures across the dorsal and ventral streams

The paper investigates figure-ground segmentation in the brain using fMRI, finding distributed signatures across multiple topographic maps beyond early visual cortex.

Resting-state functional connectivity predictors of subjective visual Gestalt experience

The paper investigates how resting-state functional connectivity of the insula and intraparietal sulcus predicts individual differences in perceptual tendencies towards illusory Gestalt experiences.

Fast and functionally specific cortical thickness changes induced by visual stimulation

The paper shows visual stimulation induces fast, functionally specific cortical thickness changes in V1, comparable to BOLD signals but weaker in V3, suggesting non-hemodynamic mechanisms.

Increased insula activity precedes the formation of subjective Gestalt

The paper shows increased dorsal insula activity before perceiving an illusory Gestalt, suggesting its role in generating perceptual interpretations.

Representation of illusory shapes within the topographic areas of the posterior parietal cortex

This study shows that dorsal stream parietal areas respond to static illusory shapes, with posterior regions showing contralateral preference and anterior regions showing attention-dependent responses.
