Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, positive): “In IT cortex, predictor neurons code information about object category; error neurons signal mismatches in predicted and observed object category (den Ouden et al., 2012; Peelen and Kastner, 2011).”
How Prediction Errors Shape Perception, Attention, and Motivation (2012, background): “In line with this, Peelen and Kastner (2011) showed that the activity pattern of omissions contains information about the identity of the absent stimulus.”
Detecting meaning in RSVP at 13 ms per picture (2013, background): “For example, in a recent study using multivoxel pattern analysis (Peelen & Kastner, 2011), the amount of preparatory activity in object-selective cortex that resembled activity when viewing objects in a given category was correlated with successful item detection.”
V*: Guided Visual Search as a Core Mechanism in Multimodal LLMs (2023, background): “The intricacy of visual search has been studied for a long time in cognitive science and vision science [37, 46, 48, 50–52].”
Humans, but Not Deep Neural Networks, Often Miss Giant Targets in Scenes. (2017, background): “The occipitotemporal areas of the human brain represent many important components of visual search including the category of the object being searched [49, 50], its expected location within the scene [51], and the physical size of objects in the real world [52].”
