Deep Neural Networks Reveal a Gradient in the Complexity of Neural Representations across the Ventral Stream (2014, background): “This implies that individual features are represented in a distributed manner across a patch of cortex and multiple features are superimposed on the same cortical expanse (Grill-Spector and Weiner, 2014).”
Invariant object recognition is a personalized selection of invariant features in humans, not simply explained by hierarchical feed-forward vision models (2017, result): “Our results also showed that none of the computational models used in this study could predict human feature-based object discrimination strategies and how those strategies were modulated by the level of object similarity (Figs 8, 9, 12, 13 and 14).”
Recurrence is required to capture the representational dynamics of the human visual system (2019, positive): “V relies on an intricate network of interconnected cortical regions along the ventral visual pathway (1).”
Similarity judgments and cortical visual responses reflect different properties of object and scene categories in naturalistic images (2018, background): “The presence of responses in both human and non-human primate visual cortex specific to a given category or type of object suggest there may be a close correspondence between responses in highlevel visual cortex and behavioral similarity judgments (Kravitz et al., 2013; Grill-Spector and Weiner, 201”
Illiterate to literate: behavioural and cerebral changes induced by reading acquisition (2015, positive): “A recently identified cytoarchitectonic area, the human fusiform gyrus region known as ‘FG2’, seems to afford fMRI responses both to words and to faces 72,73 and therefore may be the shared neuroanatomical resource for which both categories of stimuli compete.”
Foundations of Vision (2018, background): “In the ventral occipitotemporal cortex, multiple category-selective regions have been identified (Op de Beeck, Haushofer, & Kanwisher, 2008), as well as large expansive regions that are generally sensitive to a variety of object stimuli (Grill-Spector & Weiner, 2014; Kriegeskorte et al., 2008).”
