Shared cognitive mechanisms involved in the processing of scene texture and scene shape.

ABSTRACT: Recent research has demonstrated that the parahippocampal place area represents both the shape and texture features of scenes, with the importance of each feature varying according to perceived scene category. Namely, shape features are predominately more diagnostic to the processing of artificial human-made scenes, while shape and texture are equally diagnostic in natural scene processing. However, to date little is known regarding the degree of interactivity or independence observed in the processing of these scene features. Furthermore, manipulating the scope of visual attention (i.e., globally vs. locally) when processing ensembles of multiple objects-stimuli that share a functional neuroanatomical link with scenes-has been shown to affect their cognitive visual representation.
