   abstract = {Neurons in the visual cortex are responsive to the presentation of oriented and curved line segments, which are thought to act as primitives for the visual processing of shapes and objects. Prolonged adaptation to such stimuli gives rise to two related perceptual effects: a slow change in the appearance of the adapting stimulus (perceptual drift), and the distortion of subsequently presented test stimuli (adaptational aftereffects). Here we used a psychophysical nulling technique to dissociate and quantify these two classical observations in order to examine their underlying mechanisms and their relationship to one another. In agreement with previous work, we found that during adaptation horizontal and vertical straight lines serve as attractors for perceived orientation and curvature. However, the rate of perceptual drift for different stimuli was not predictive of the corresponding aftereffect magnitudes, indicating that the two perceptual effects are governed by distinct neural processes. Finally, the rate
of perceptual drift for curved line segments did not depend on the spatial scale of the stimulus, suggesting that its mechanisms lie outside strictly retinotopic processing stages. These findings provide new evidence that the visual system relies on statistically salient intrinsic reference stimuli for the processing of visual patterns, and point to perceptual drift as an experimental window for studying the mechanisms of visual perception.},

   abstract = {Mirror Neurons (MN) have been suggested to be the supporting neural mechanism for action recognition and understanding. However, there is a current debate
about the localization of MN in humans. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies using repetition suppression (RS) paradigms for the identification of
MN provide mixed results. Studies supporting the existence of MN restricted their analysis to a-priori candidate regions, whereas studies that failed to find evidence
used non-object-directed actions. In the present fMRI study, we tackled these limitations by using object-directed actions in a RS paradigm and performing a wholebrain
analysis. Subjects observed and executed simple grasping movements differing only in their goal-directness (grasping a button vs. grasping beside it). MN areas
should be (1) more activated by goal-directed actions and (2) exhibit RS between execution and observation of the same action. The analysis revealed three significant
cortical clusters in the right anterior intraparietal sulcus (aIPS), right primary somatosensory cortex and left premotor cortex that show these characteristics. While
the aIPS has been reported before as a possible region for MN, the other two clusters haven’t been associated with MN directly yet using RS paradigms. We discuss
the potential contribution of these regions to object-directed actions.},
