Research highlights
► Over the last 25 years, our understanding of object recognition has been greatly increased thanks to a number of methodological and technological advances. ► Optical imaging and electrophysiological recording studies in monkeys illustrate how neurons in inferior temporal cortex are ideally suited for object recognition. ► Neuroimaging studies in both humans and monkeys have revealed regions within the temporal cortex selective for object categories. ► This review highlights how some of these recent technological advances have contributed to the study of visual processing and where we now stand with respect to our understanding of neural mechanisms underlying object recognition.
