The role of apparent size in building- and object-specific regions of ventral visual cortexAnthony D Cate
Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System, CA, USA
Brain Res 1388:109-22. 2011
..These findings suggest that ventral stream regions that show category specificity are modulated by the perceived size and distance of visual stimuli...
Functional maps of human auditory cortex: effects of acoustic features and attentionDavid L Woods
Human Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory, VANCHCS, Martinez, California, United States of America
PLoS ONE 4:e5183. 2009
..While human auditory cortex is known to contain tonotopically organized auditory cortical fields (ACFs), little is known about how processing in these fields is modulated by other acoustic features or by attention...
Functional properties of human auditory cortical fieldsDavid L Woods
Human Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory, VANCHCS Martinez, CA, USA
Front Syst Neurosci 4:155. 2010
..A comparison of the sizes of functionally defined ACFs in humans and macaques reveals a significant relative expansion in human lateral belt fields implicated in the processing of speech...
Hemispherically-unified surface maps of human cerebral cortex: reliability and hemispheric asymmetriesXiaojian Kang
Human Cognitive Neurophysiology Lab, VA Research Service, Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Martinez, CA, USA
PLoS ONE 7:e45582. 2012
..The results show that gyral and sulcal structures are aligned with high but variable accuracy in different cortical regions and show consistent hemispheric asymmetries that are maximal in posterior temporal regions...
Phonological processing in human auditory cortical fieldsDavid L Woods
Human Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory, Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System Martinez, CA, USA
Front Hum Neurosci 5:42. 2011
..Stimulus preference gradients were unaffected by auditory attention suggesting that ACF preferences reflect the automatic processing of different spectrotemporal sound features...
