Bracci, S., Caramazza, A., & Peelen, M. V. (2018). View-invariant representation of hand postures in the human lateral occipitotemporal cortex. NeuroImage, 181, 446-452.
Bracci, S., Caramazza, A., & Peelen, M. V. (2018). View-invariant representation of hand postures in the human lateral occipitotemporal cortex. NeuroImage, 181, 446-452.
Understanding other people's actions and mental states includes the interpretation of body postures and movements. In particular, hand postures are an important channel to signal both action and communicative intentions. Recognizing hand postures is...

What forces direct brain organization and its plasticity? When brain regions are deprived of their input, which regions reorganize based on compensation for the disability and experience, and which regions show topographically constrained plasticity...

Vannuscorps, G., Wurm, M., Striem-Amit, E., & Caramazza, A. (2018). Large-scale organizations of the hand action observation network in individuals born without hands. Cerebral Cortex.
The human high-level visual cortex comprises regions specialized for the processing of distinct types of stimuli, such as objects, animals, and human actions. How does this specialization emerge? Here, we investigated the role of effector-specific...

Papeo, L., Wurm, M., Oosterhof, N., & Caramazza, A. (2017). The neural representation of human versus nonhuman bipeds and quadrupeds . Scientific Reports, 7(1), 14040 .
How do humans recognize humans among other creatures? Recent studies suggest that a preference for conspecifics may emerge already in perceptual processing, in regions such as the right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS), implicated in visual...

Vannuscorps, & Caramazza. (2016). Typical action perception and interpretation without motor simulation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 113(1), 86-91.
Every day, we interact with people synchronously, immediately understand what they are doing, and easily infer their mental state and the likely outcome of their actions from their kinematics. According to various motor simulation theories of perception...

Bi, Wang, & Caramazza. (2016). Object Domain and Modality in the Ventral Visual Pathway. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 20(4), 282-290.
The nature of domain-specific organization in higher-order visual cortex (ventral occipital temporal cortex, VOTC) has been investigated both in the case of visual experience deprivation and of modality of stimulation in sighted individuals. Object domain...
