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].”
Using goal-driven deep learning models to understand sensory cortex (2016, unknown): “Inspired by causal intervention experiments 70 , predictions for causal relationships between neural responses and behavior could be obtained by perturbing units within the model, even optimizing stimuli and perturbation patterns to achieve the most effective behavioral changes.”
Navigating the Neural Space in Search of the Neural Code. (2017, unknown): “This logic has been used to assess the function of local clusters of neurons in many brain systems in nonhuman primates (Afraz et al., 2006, 2015; Graziano et al., 2002; Klein et al., 2016; Moore and Armstrong, 2003; Robinson, 1972; Robinson and Fuchs, 1969; Romo et al., 1998; Smolyanskaya et al.,…”
