Neuronal tuning and population representations of shape and category in human visual cortex.

This study investigates neuronal tuning for shape and category in human visual cortex using spiking activity recordings, finding shape-based representations with category-like encoding and interactions between shape and category tuning.

Fine-grained neural coding of bodies and body parts in human visual cortex

This study records multi-unit spiking activity in human visual cortex to investigate body and body part representation, finding strong selectivity for bodies and generalization to non-photographic depictions.

Face neurons in human visual cortex

The paper records single-neuron activity in the human occipital face area (OFA) and finds face selectivity at short latencies, suggesting OFA is not strictly tuned to typical facial features.

Single-cell selectivity and functional architecture of human lateral occipital complex.

This study records single-unit responses in the human lateral occipital complex and finds that it exhibits properties typical of end-stage visual areas, challenging its traditional hierarchical position.
