The fusiform gyrus is involved in high-level visual processing, such as identifying objects and people's faces from their appearance. The study suggests that during imagination, the signal strength is ...

Dr Dijkstra added: "Our findings suggest that the brain uses the strength of sensory signals to distinguish between imagination and reality." The study also showed that the fusiform gyrus ...

Electrical stimulation of two closely-spaced areas in the fusiform gyrus region of the brain (mid and posterior fusiform ) causes a profound change in perception that is specific for the face ...

The fusiform gyrus helps distinguish between real and imagined visual experiences by varying its activation strength. Stronger activity in this region, especially during vivid imagination, ...

Crucially, when the activity in the fusiform gyrus rose above a certain threshold, this led to a jump in activity in an area called the anterior insula, leading people to judge something as real.

Crucially, when the activity in the fusiform gyrus rose above a certain threshold, this led to a jump in activity in an area called the anterior insula, leading people to judge something as real.

Usually, activation in the fusiform gyrus is weaker during imagination than during perception, which helps the brain keep the two apart. However, ...
