Lateralized occipito-temporal N1 responses to images of salient distorted finger postures (2017)
Journal Article
Santo, M. G. E., Chen, H., & Schürmann, M. (in press). Lateralized occipito-temporal N1 responses to images of salient distorted finger postures. Scientific Reports, 7, Article 14129. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-14474-x

For humans as social beings, other people’s hands are highly visually conspicuous. Exceptionally striking are hands in other than natural configuration which have been found to elicit distinct brain activation. Here we studied response strength and l...

N1 responses to images of hands in occipito-temporal event-related potentials (2017)
Journal Article
Espírito Santo, M. G., Maxim, O. S., & Schürmann, M. (2017). N1 responses to images of hands in occipito-temporal event-related potentials. Neuropsychologia, 106, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.09.012

Hands, much like faces, convey social information, instructions and intentions to an observer. While the neural processes of face perception have been widely studied, it was only recently that fMRI identified occipito-temporal areas sensitive to stat...
