| Research Abstract |
In this study, the neural basis of categorical and metric properties processing of object was investigated. Behavioral study suggested that the left and right hemispheres had processing advantage for categorical and metric properties, respectively. Furthermore, fMRI study suggested that there was the relatively strong interactive connection between the right parietal lobule and right LOC during the metric properties processing. There is a possibility that categorical and metric properties of object would be processed in the different neural basis and used for different type of object representation.
