6,550 Citations1992Melvyn A. Goodale, A. David Milner
It is proposed that the ventral stream of projections from the striate cortex to the inferotemporal cortex plays the major role in the perceptual identification of objects, while the dorsal stream projecting from the stripping to the posterior parietal region mediates the required sensorimotor transformations for visually guided actions directed at such objects.

The dissimilarities between sampled distributions of simple shape functions provide a robust method for discriminating between classes of objects in a moderately sized database, despite the presence of arbitrary translations, rotations, scales, mirrors, tessellations, simplifications, and model degeneracies.

The Ebbinghaus illusion does not provide evidence for the existence of two distinct pathways for perception and action in the visual system, and the differences found previously can be accounted for by a hitherto unknown, nonadditive effect in the illusion.
