Multiple Choice

During an fMRI study conducted by Haxby et al. (2001) , people were shown photographs of seven different categories of objects (faces, houses, chairs, bottles, shoes, scissors, and cats) , as well as photographs of scrambled images. The researchers found that, by analyzing the spatial distribution of cortical activity within a large swath of the IT cortex, they could:

A) perceive regions with convex borders as grounds.
B) predict the object category being viewed with 95 percent accuracy.
C) determine the location, orientation, and curvature of edges in the retinal image of objects.
D) perceive two edges that would meet if extended as a single edge that has been partially occluded.
