Sumario:Lauren Welbourne et al. use functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural dynamics linked to how humans process object size in the environment. After showing participants a series of images with appropriately-sized or misscaled objects (such as a giant toothbrush on a bathroom sink), the authors observed that the temporal occipital sulcus and intraparietal sulcus were strongly responsive to normally-sized, but not misscaled, objects, suggesting that object representations in both brain regions incorporate the objects’ typical size relationships to the surrounding scene.
