Exam 6: Object Recognition

Neural adaptation (aka habituation) in fMRI occurs when the same object is presented to someone repeatedly, which results in decreases of neural activation with each repetition of that object.Interestingly, showing a picture of a real apple several times and then showing a drawing of an apple continues to elicit decreasing activation with each presentation despite these variations.This is an example of:

Which pattern of brain activation is the scientific evidence in favour of for a specific category of images? A.Distributed activity across the entire ventral visual processing stream B.Response to a particular category of visual images is found in just one area of the brain C.Particular regions may specialise in terms of how and when they activate, but they will respond to more than one category of images and other regions will also activate for those images D.Activity is distributed across regions of the brain except for face recognition
