title: Recognition of objects in non-canonical views: a functional MRI study.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The neural correlate of object recognition in non-canonical views is uncertain, but there is evidence for involvement of neural pathways, possibly separate from those used for object recognition in canonical views.
  
  
  METHODS
  Boxcar functional MRI (fMRI) techniques were used to detect neural activity while eight normal subjects were instructed to identify digital photographs of objects in non-canonical and canonical orientations.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The right angular gyrus, the left inferior temporal gyrus, and the right cerebellum showed significant fMRI activity during non-canonical as opposed to canonical viewing.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Subjects recognizing objects in non-canonical orientations engage in a process separate from, or in addition to, the process used in recognizing objects in canonical orientations.
