Functional neuroimaging, especially functional MRI (fMRI), offers new insights into human visual cortex activity. This research explores fMRI signals, visual cortex organization, and plasticity, advancing our understanding of perception.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Visual Neuroscience
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Functional neuroimaging provides novel perspectives on human visual cortex activity.
  • Advances in understanding functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals in relation to electrophysiological measures like action potentials and local field potentials are ongoing.
  • New human neuroimaging data are clarifying organizational similarities and differences between human and macaque visual cortices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between functional signals (fMRI) and basic electrophysiological measurements.
  • To compare the organization of visual areas in human and macaque visual cortex.
  • To investigate recent findings in cortical visual plasticity and dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing functional neuroimaging techniques, particularly fMRI.
