The current results provide evidence for the existence of a rapid neocortical route in humans in which information is rapidly transferred from low-level visual areas to high-level category-sensitive visual areas.
Our results provide the first direct evidence that category-specific processing in high-level category-sensitive cortical areas already takes place within the first 100-ms of visual processing, significantly earlier than previously thought, and suggests the existence of fast category-specific neocortical routes in the human brain.
Our results show that category-specific processing in high-level category-sensitive cortical areas already occurs during the first 100-ms of visual processing, much earlier than previously thought, hereby shedding a new light on the early neural mechanisms of visual object processing.
Present findings of early category-specific activation of category-sensitive distributed cortical networks between 70 100-ms after stimulus onset are consistent with a growing body of evidence that visual categorization can already take place within the first 100-ms post stimulus onset [32], [33], [92], [93].

One theory is that, rather than working in a self-contained fashion, category-sensitive brain regions are elements or 'nodes' within more complex brain networks that are specialised for processing different types of visual stimuli.
Table 3 divides the various types of cancer into five categories: UVB/vitamin D sensitive (i.e., have reduced risk in ecological studies, due to vitamin D production), smoking and UVB sensitive, smoking related, UV sensitive (i.e., increased risk with UV irradiance) and unknown UVB/vitamin D and smoking sensitivity.
It offers the much preferable opt-in design only for a few special categories of "sensitive" information, like medical conditions, health records or religious affiliation.
This offer not only fell well short of the American one but also contained loopholes big enough to drive a combine harvester through, including a provision to allow the EU to designate up to 8% of categories as "sensitive" products that would be granted special protection.
Using the fraction of common peaks in each experiment as a measure of replicate consistency, we classified the 57 conditions in three categories (similar, sensitive and dissimilar).
