Abstract(in English) We used fMRI to examine the brain areas involved in crossmodal interactions in 3D object learning and top-down processing. We generated visual 3D objects using computer graphics. Haptic objects were produced as plaster objects using a 3D printer. The subjects learned the objects' shape by using either visual or haptic information and then used the other modality to judge their 3D shape. In this experiment, we found the activations of the visual areas in the temporal lobe and the haptic areas in the parietal lobe in crossmodal top-down prosessing. The results suggest that networks between these areas play a crucial role in the crossmodal 3D object recognition.
