摘要
FUNCTIONAL magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to explore the brain substrate associated with global and local processing of visuospatial patterns. Systematic differences in activation, consistent with differences observed in reaction time data collected under conditions of visual hemifield presentation, were found in occipitotemporal regions of the right and left hemispheres. Within the right hemisphere, area of activation and fractional signal changes were greater under conditions of global processing than under local processing conditions. In the left hemisphere, activation to global and local input was high and comparable.
