N2  - 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.
