The desire to reduce the dependence on curated, labeled datasets and to leverage the vast
quantities of unlabeled data has triggered renewed interest in unsupervised (or self …

Since the discovery of three scene-selective regions in the human brain, a central
assumption has been that all three regions directly support navigation. We propose instead …

Three of the most robust functional landmarks in the human brain are the selective
responses to faces in the fusiform face area (FFA), scenes in the parahippocampal place …

Anterior regions of the ventral visual stream encode substantial information about object
categories. Are top-down category-level forces critical for arriving at this representation, or …

For more than 100 years we have known that the visual field is mapped onto the surface of
visual cortex, imposing an inherently spatial reference frame on visual information …

The ventral visual stream is shaped during development by innate proto-organization within
the visual system, such as the strong input from the fovea to the fusiform face area. In adults …

Humans make sense of the world by organizing things into categories. When and how does
this process begin? We investigated whether real-world object categories that …

Visual cortex organization is highly consistent across individuals. But to what degree does
this consistency depend on life experience, in particular sensory experience? In this study …

Scene construction is a key component of memory recall, navigation, and future imagining,
and relies on the medial temporal lobes (MTL). A parallel body of work suggests that eye …

Faces and bodies are often treated as distinct categories that are processed separately by
face-and body-selective brain regions in the primate visual system. These regions occupy …
