Vanderbilt Vision Research Center, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
Brain 126:2463-75. 2003..F.'s visual form agnosia is associated with extensive damage to the ventral stream, and that her spared visuomotor skills are associated with visual processing in the dorsal stream...- Perceiving object motion using vision and touchThomas W James
Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, USA
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci 4:201-7. 2004..Visual and tactile inputs can sometimes be fused to form a coherent percept of object motion but, when they are in extreme conflict, can also remain independent... - Neural synergy between kinetic vision and touchRandolph Blake
Vanderbilt Vision Research Center, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
Psychol Sci 15:397-402. 2004..Considered together, our results show that the brain draws on somatosensory information to resolve visual conflict... - Generating complex three-dimensional stimuli (Greebles) for haptic expertise trainingThomas W James
Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Behav Res Methods 37:353-8. 2005..Differences between these object creation techniques and their impact on perceptual expertise training are discussed.

Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, 111 21st Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
Vision Res 44:429-39. 2004..The brain regions involved have been implicated in semantic processing, thus recently acquired semantics activate a similar network to semantics learned over a lifetime... - Differential effects of viewpoint on object-driven activation in dorsal and ventral streamsThomas W James
CIHR Group on Action and Perception, Psychology Department, The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada
Neuron 35:793-801. 2002..The difference in the pattern of priming-related activation in the two areas may reflect the respective roles of the ventral and dorsal streams in object recognition and object-directed action... - Superadditive BOLD activation in superior temporal sulcus with threshold non-speech objectsRyan A Stevenson
Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana University, 1101 East Tenth Street, Room 293, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA
Exp Brain Res 179:85-95. 2007..Our findings suggest that the properties of the BOLD signal do not limit our ability to detect and define sites of integration using stringent criteria... - Haptic face identification activates ventral occipital and temporal areas: an fMRI studyAndrea R Kilgour
Department of Psychology, Queen's University, Kingston, Ont, Canada K7L 3N6
Brain Cogn 59:246-57. 2005..We further speculate that left fusiform gyrus may be recruited more for facemasks than for control objects because of the increased need for sequential processing by the haptic system... - Haptic study of three-dimensional objects activates extrastriate visual areasThomas W James

Neuropsychologia 40:1706-14. 2002..Taken together, these results suggest that the object-representation systems of the ventral visual pathway are exploited for haptic object perception... - Letter processing in the visual system: different activation patterns for single letters and stringsKarin H James
Psychology Department, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, USA
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci 5:452-66. 2005..An important conclusion is that the processing of nonpronounceable letter strings cannot be assumed to be equivalent to single-letter perception... - The influence of familiarity on brain activation during haptic exploration of 3-D facemasksThomas W James
Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, 1101 E 10th Street, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA
Neurosci Lett 397:269-73. 2006..A group analysis contrasting familiar and unfamiliar facemasks found that the left fusiform gyrus produced greater activation with familiar facemasks... - Repetition-induced changes in BOLD response reflect accumulation of neural activityThomas W James
Psychology Department, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405, USA
Hum Brain Mapp 27:37-46. 2006..Enhanced activation and the improved behavioral performance usually associated with priming are both explained by a shift in peak latency of the population neural activity elicited during identification... - Affective auditory stimuli: characterization of the International Affective Digitized Sounds (IADS) by discrete emotional categoriesRyan A Stevenson
