The present study integrated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event-related potentials (ERP) to identify and characterize the spatio-temporal pattern of brain activation at the ventral visual pathway areas underlying form discrimination. The fMRI results indicated significant activation in the ventral areas GTi/GF(the inferior temporal gyrus / the fusiform gyrus). The convergent results derived from the source analysis of fMRI-seeded and moving dipole modeling and from the source waveforms o...
