Dissociable neural mechanisms for determining the perceived heaviness of objects and the predicted weight of objects during lifting: An fMRI investigation of the size-weight illusion (2008)
Journal Article
Large, M., Chang, E. C., Chouinard, P. A., & Goodale, M. A. (2009). Dissociable neural mechanisms for determining the perceived heaviness of objects and the predicted weight of objects during lifting: An fMRI investigation of the size-weight illusion. NeuroImage, 44(1), 200-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2008.08.023

In size-weight (SW) illusions, people learn to scale their fingertip forces for lifting small and big objects of equal weight even though they fail to learn perceptually that both objects have the same weight. The question then arises as to what the...

fMRI reveals greater within- than between-hemifield integration in the human lateral occipital cortex (2008)
Journal Article
Large, M., Aldcroft, A., Culham, J., Kuchinad, A., & Vilis, T. (2008). fMRI reveals greater within- than between-hemifield integration in the human lateral occipital cortex. The European journal of neuroscience, 27(12), 3299-3309. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2008.06270.x

Early visual areas within each hemisphere (V1, V2, V3/VP, V4v) contain distinct representations of the upper and lower quadrants of the contralateral hemifield. As receptive field size increases, the retinotopy in higher-tier visual areas becomes pro...

The neural correlates of change detection in the face perception network (2008)
Journal Article
Large, M., Cavina-Pratesi, C., Vilis, T., & Culham, J. C. (2008). The neural correlates of change detection in the face perception network. Neuropsychologia, 46(8), 2169-2176. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.02.027

A common view is that visual processing within the ventral visual stream is modulated by attention and awareness. We used fMRI adaptation to investigate whether activation in a network of brain regions involved with face recognition - namely the fusi...
