It is assumed that the ability to recognise objects that appear in our visual field is a major function of the (human) brain. Choose one method from cognitive neuroscience* and evaluate how the application of this particular method contributes to our understanding of processes underlying object recognition. * choose from: * human brain lesion studies * EEG studies * Single-cell recording * PET/fMRI One of the routine memory abilities impaired by temporal lobe damage is object recognition memory, this is the ability to perceive previously encountered objects, until recent years most of the emphasis was on describing how hippocampal damage could impair object recognition, but today most researchers are looking outside the hippocampus to explain object recognition. There are many cognitive neuroscientific techniques used to understand the processors underlying object recognition, examples of this are fMRI studies used in object recognition and human face recognition, in a past study by Tarr et al...
