Novel Body-Selective Regions Responsive to Bodies Away from the Center of Gaze

Show abstract
We report the existence of two previously undescribed body-selective visual regions in the human brain, which we term the Ventromedial Body Area (VMBA) and the Medial Body Area (MBA). We localize these regions based on high-signal localizer contrasts and characterize selectivity in them with encoding model analysis of BOLD fMRI responses to thousands of naturalistic images. These regions respond to images of bodies away from the center of gaze.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
