Research Abstract |
In this study, the process of making object representation was investigated. The different range of spatial frequency information would play an important role in the categorical and metric properties processing of object recognition. Furthermore, the hemispheric asymmetries for these properties processing would be explained by the spatial frequency information. Some experiments suggested that the visual attention would play an important role in extracting the spatial frequency information for the different purpose of object recognition. It was suggested that the making process of object representation was flexibly changed by the purpose of object recognition from their earlier level.
