Intensity inhomogeneities often occur in real-world images and may cause considerable
difficulties in image segmentation. In order to overcome the difficulties caused by intensity …

Echoplanar functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used in normal human
subjects to investigate the role of the amygdala in conditioned fear acquisition and extinction. A …

A MUCH debated question is whether sex differences exist in the functional organization of
the brain for language 1–4 . A long-held hypothesis posits that language functions are more …

Expertise with unfamiliar objects (‘greebles’) recruits face-selective areas in the fusiform
gyrus (FFA) and occipital lobe (OFA). Here we extend this finding to other homogeneous …

Intensity inhomogeneity often occurs in real-world images, which presents a considerable
challenge in image segmentation. The most widely used image segmentation algorithms are …

We used fMRI to explore the neural substrates involved in the unconscious evaluation of
Black and White social groups. Specifically, we focused on the amygdala, a subcortical …

Learning to read requires an awareness that spoken words can be decomposed into the
phonologic constituents that the alphabetic characters represent. Such phonologic awareness …

The perception of faces is sometimes regarded as a specialized task involving discrete
brain regions. In an attempt to identi$ face-specific cortex, we used functional magnetic …

Part of the ventral temporal lobe is thought to be critical for face perception, but what determines
this specialization remains unknown. We present evidence that expertise recruits the …

Local image information is crucial for accurate segmentation of images with intensity
inhomogeneity. However, image information in local region is not embedded in popular region-…
