Dissociable Neural Responses to Hands and Non-Hand Body Parts
in Human Left Extrastriate Visual Cortex

"extrastriate body area(EBA)"は知られているが，
left lateral occipitotemporal cortexに
「手領域」（left LOSと表記されている）が存在する。

EBAと機能的に異なるところは以下（abstractから抽出）の通り，
ロボットの手にも強めに反応するところ。

The hand-preferring region responded most strongly to hands,
followed by robotic hands, fingers, and feet,
whereas its response to assorted body parts did not significantly differ from baseline.

By contrast, EBA responded most strongly to body parts, followed by hands and feet,
and did not significantly respond to robotic hands or fingers.
