This study characterizes the topographic organization of the human visual claustrum zone using population receptive field analysis, revealing both similarities to and distinctions from other visually responsive brain regions.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

The paper uses 9.4T fMRI to study motion signal integration in human V3A and V6+ areas across cortical depth, finding differential laminar processing for retinal and objective motion.
