Visual and linguistic semantic representations are aligned at the border of human visual cortex (Popham et al., Nature Neuroscience, 2021)
October 28, 2021
We examined the spatial organization of visual and amodal semantic functional maps. The pattern of semantic selectivity in these two networks corresponds along the boundary of visual cortex: for categories represented posterior to the boundary, the same categories are represented linguistically on the anterior side. These two networks are smoothly joined to form one contiguous map.
