This study investigates whether visual category-selectivity in VOTC emerges after sight restoration in congenitally blind humans, finding reduced face-selectivity and a double dissociation between visual and auditory decoding in VOTC.

LayNii is a software suite designed for analyzing layer-specific functional MRI data with SNR and coverage constraints, offering tools for layerification, smoothing, and artifact mitigation.

This paper develops a functional atlas of early visual and category-selective regions in human occipito-temporal cortex, showing it outperforms volumetric alignment and accurately predicts ROI locations.

The paper shows that category representations in VTC of congenitally blind individuals vary widely, with some showing similarity to sighted individuals despite group-level differences.

The paper shows that decoding asymmetry in multivariate cross-classification can arise from signal-to-noise ratio differences between datasets, not necessarily complex neurocognitive mechanisms.
