When someone saw real projected lines, activity in the fusiform gyrus was stronger than when they knew they were simply ...

The fusiform gyrus was active both when the lines were imaginary and when they were real. However, when the activity crossed a certain threshold, the study participants assumed it was real, ...

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 ...

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.

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, ...

The study also showed that the fusiform gyrus collaborates with other brain areas to help us decide what is real and what is imagined. Specifically, activity in the anterior insula ...
