Humans can recognize an object within a fraction of a second, even if there are no clues
about what kind of object it might be. Recent findings have identified functional properties of
extrastriate regions in the ventral visual pathway that are involved in the representation and
perception of objects and faces. The functional properties of these regions, and the
correlation between the activation of these regions and visual recognition, indicate that the
lateral and ventral occipito-temporal areas are important in perceiving and recognizing …
