%X The perception of shape is independent of the size and position 
of the shape and 
also of the visual cue that defines it. The same shape can be 
recognized whether 
defined by a difference in luminance, by motion, or by texture. 
Experiments
showed that the shape selectivity of individual cells in the 
macaque inferior
temporal cortex did not vary with the size and position of a 
shape and also did
not vary with the visual cue used to define the shape. This cue 
invariance was
true for static luminance and texture cues as well as for 
relative motion
cues--that is, for cues that are processed in ventral and dorsal 
visual pathways.
The properties of these inferior temporal cells meet the demands 
of cue-invariant
shape coding.
