Institute for Biomedical Engineering, University of Zurich and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland
Neuroimage 26:852-9. 2005..Our data indicate that optimized GE sequences that reduce susceptibility artefacts are sufficient to detect activation in regions such as the orbitofrontal cortex... - Seeing faces and objects with the "mind's eye"Alumit Ishai

Institute of Neuroradiology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Conscious Cogn 17:923-32. 2008..Our results suggest that perception of familiar content in art works is mediated by object recognition, memory recall and mental imagery, cognitive processes that evoke activation within a distributed cortical network... - Temporal dynamics of face repetition suppressionAlumit Ishai
Institute of Neuroradiology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Brain Res Bull 70:289-95. 2006..Our data indicate that valence enhancement and context effects can be detected in extrastriate visual cortex within 250 ms and that these processes likely reflect feedback from other regions... - Sex, beauty and the orbitofrontal cortexAlumit Ishai
Institute of Neuroradiology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057, Zurich, Switzerland
Int J Psychophysiol 63:181-5. 2007..These findings suggest that the OFC represents the value of salient sexually-relevant faces, irrespective of their reproductive fitness... - Face perception is mediated by a distributed cortical networkAlumit Ishai
Institute of Neuroradiology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Brain Res Bull 67:87-93. 2005..These results indicate that a mere percept of a face is sufficient to localize activation within the distributed cortical network that mediates the visual analysis of facial identity and expression... - Face perception is modulated by sexual preferenceFelicitas Kranz
Institute of Neuroradiology, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland; Institute for Biomedical Engineering, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland

Laboratory of Brain and Cognition, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:9827-32. 2004..Our findings demonstrate a three-way interaction between emotional valence, repetition, and task relevance and suggest that repetition suppression is influenced by high-level cognitive processes in the human brain... - Famous faces activate contextual associations in the parahippocampal cortexMoshe Bar
Martinos Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA
Cereb Cortex 18:1233-8. 2008..Taken collectively, these findings indicate that the PHC should be regarded as mediating contextual associations in general and not necessarily spatial or episodic information... - Where bottom-up meets top-down: neuronal interactions during perception and imageryAndrea Mechelli
Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience, Institute of Neurology, 12 Queen Square, London, WC1N 3BG, UK
Cereb Cortex 14:1256-65. 2004..Additionally non-selective, top-down processes, originating in superior parietal areas, contribute to the generation of mental images, regardless of their content, and their maintenance in the 'mind's eye'... - Visual imagery of famous faces: effects of memory and attention revealed by fMRIAlumit Ishai
