Inferior temporal cortex plays an important role in shape recognition. To study the shape
selectivity of single inferior temporal neurons, we recorded their responses to a set of
shapes systematically varying in boundary curvature. Many inferior temporal neurons were
selective for stimuli of specific boundary curvature and maintained this selectivity over
changes in stimulus size or position. The method of describing boundary curvature was that
of Fourier descriptors.
