description: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies demonstrated  that tactile discrimination evokes patterns of neural response in the extrastriate  ventral temporal cortical areas similar to those induced by the visual percept of  the same category of objects. These findings strongly indicate that object  representation in the ventral visual pathway is not simply a representation of  visual images but quite a representation of more abstract features of object  form.
