SUMMARY.
Neurologist in this study tried to determine function of the Fusiform Gyrus (shown ABOVE). The Fusiform Gyrus is known to be the anatomical location of pattern recognition. Reading text and recognizing faces are localized to the Fusiform Gyrus.
The human face alphabet used in the study is (shown BELOW) contained FaceFont, KoreanFont, and phonemes (IPA).

CONCLUSION.
The objective of this study was to determine the neurological role of the Fusiform Gyrus in relation to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
ABOVE are the vowels of the International Phonetic Alphabet’ (IPA), which developed from Latin letters (abc’s) in 1886 by linguist Paul Passy.
The International Phonetic Alphabet’ (IPA) is currently 163 symbols.
IPA consists of 107 letters (28 vowels 79 consonants), 52 diacritics, and 4 prosodic marks (shown BELOW).
