EBA - Extrastraiate body area is one such area involved in perception in brain. Is visual perception a single modality or a multiple modality involving other sensory modalities?
If we want to study the perception, how one can go about it? other than fMRI, TMS etc.
Visual perception is a multifaceted process which is influenced by prior experience, culture, mood, bias, attention etc.
see 23. Loth E, Gómez JC, Happé F (2010) When seeing depends on knowing: adults with Autism Spectrum Conditions show diminished top-down processes in the visual perception of degraded faces but not degraded objects. Neuropsychologia 48: 1227–1236. doi: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2009.12.023.
And also a study on the effect of music on visual perception by Jolilj and Meurs 2011, available at http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0018861
As for various methods for study in addition to fMRI, TMS, see for example Menshikova et al 2012, Virtual Reality Technology for the Visual Perception Study.
