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. date: 2004 date_type: published publisher: EuroHaptics Society pagerange: 293-298 event_title: EuroHaptics 2004 event_location: Munich, Germany event_dates: June 5-7, 2004 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE book_title: Proceedings of EuroHaptics 2004 official_url: http://www.eurohaptics.vision.ee.ethz.ch/2004.shtml citation: Ricciardi, Emiliano and Furey, Maura L. and Gobbini, Maria Ida and Guazzelli, Mario and Haxby, James V. and Pietrini, Pietro Tactile processing of different object categories involves extrastriate visual cortical areas in the human brain.
