Downing and Peelen have produced an excellent review synthesizing the current literature on the processing of body stimuli in visual cortex. However, while they consider the Extrastriate Body Area (EBA) and Fusiform Body Area (FBA) in combination, these regions are physically separate in cortex and must contribute differentially to person perception. Here, we evaluate the hierarchical view of processing in EBA and FBA and highlight the visual field biases in these regions, which may provide insight into their origin and functional roles.
