Abstract

Vision is the dominant sense in humans, and the visual system covers about 25 % of the human cerebral cortex. The visual cortex contains many maps of the visual world and many functional regions implicated in processing distinct perceptual qualities of the visual scene. This chapter provides an overview of the organization and function of visual cortex, as well as specific data-analysis techniques that have emerged from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of the visual system. These data-analysis techniques go beyond the detection of the presence or absence of an fMRI signal and attempt to reconstruct the properties of the underlying neural population. Last, the chapter covers some of the current issues on visual perception, attention, and disorders of the visual system with a particular focus on contributions from fMRI studies.
