View-tolerant face recognition and Hebbian learning imply mirror-symmetric neural tuning to head orientation (2016, neutral): “The ventral stream of the macaque brain contains discrete patches of cortex that support the processing of images of faces [52, 53, 28, 2].”
How does the brain solve visual object recognition? (2012, neutral): “One striking illustration of this is recent monkey fMRI work, which shows that there are three (Tsao et al., 2003) to six (Tsao et al., 2008a) or more (Ku et al., 2011) smaller regions within IT that may be involved in face ‘‘processing’’ (Tsao et al., 2008b) (also see Op de Beeck et al., 2008;…”
Association fibre pathways of the brain: parallel observations from diffusion spectrum imaging and autoradiography. (2007, background): “, 2002), the rostral inferior temporal gyrus that supports object recognition (Spiegler and Mishkin, 1981; Baylis and Rolls, 1987; Tsao et al., 2003; Kellenbach et al., 2005), the medial temporal area (entorhinal, perirhinal, parahippocampal gyrus) relevant in recognition memory (Mishkin, 1982; Squi”
A specialized face-processing model inspired by the organization of monkey face patches explains several face-specific phenomena observed in humans (2016, neutral): “α α = − + τ σ τ − − − y e y (1 ) (2) i X P i 1 2 ( ) 1 i 2”
A common, high-dimensional model of the representational space in human ventral temporal cortex (2011, background): “…responses that can be decoded with multivariate pattern (MVP) classification (Haxby et al., 2001; Spiridon and Kanwisher, 2002; Cox and Savoy, 2003; Tsao et al., 2003, 2006; Hanson et al., 2004; O’Toole et al., 2005; Hung et al., 2005; Kiani et al., 2007; Reddy and Kanwisher, 2007; Op de Beeck et…”
fMRI of the face-processing network in the ventral temporal lobe of awake and anesthetized macaques. (2011, methodology): “Selectivity of AMTS areas for faces was also identified in earlier fMRI studies (Logothetis et al., 1999; Tsao et al., 2003) although not in all, most likely because of signal loss in the temporal lobe.”
Unsupervised learning of invariant representations (2016, result): “This part of the theory is consistent with the existence of class-specific modules in primate cortex such as a face module and a body module [31,32,16].”
A neural code for three-dimensional object shape in macaque inferotemporal cortex (2008, background): “In central/anterior IT, the homolog of high-level object vision regions in human corte”
The neural basis of visual body perception (2007, background): “Two recent studies that used fMRI in monkeys provide evidence for two large clusters of body-selective cells in the STS, with those in the right hemisphere being most strongly activate”
Unsupervised Learning of Invariant Representations in Hierarchical Architectures (2013, background): “This part of the theory is consistent with the existence of classspecific modules in primate cortex such as a face module and a body module [62, 63, 36].”
The code for facial identity in the primate brain (2017, methodology): “Results: Recording procedure and stimulus generation We first localized six face patches in two monkeys with fMRI by presenting a face localizer stimulus set containing images of faces and non-face objects (Moeller et al., 2008b; Tsao et al., 2003; Tsao et al., 2008).”
Selectivity for the human body in the fusiform gyrus. (2005, background): “More recently, fMRI in the macaque has shown face- and body-selective activations in adjacent regions of the lower bank of the STS (Tsao et al. 2003).”
Transformation of shape information in the ventral pathway. (2007, background): “Algorithmic-level shape processing can be studied using electrode recordings in monkeys, which have similar visual capacities and a highly analogous organization of ventral visual cortex (V1, V2, V4 and multiple stages in inferotemporal cortex [IT], including face and body patches) [9].”
