Abstract Hering's Opponent-Colors Theory has been central to understanding color
appearance for 150 years. It aims to explain the phenomenology of colors with two linked …

High-performing neural networks for vision have dramatically advanced our ability to
account for neural data in biological systems. Recently, further improvement in performance …

Prior work has identified cortical regions selectively responsive to specific categories of
visual stimuli. However, this hypothesis-driven work cannot reveal how prominent these …

Visual cortex contains regions of selectivity for domains of ecological importance. Food is an
evolutionarily critical category whose visual heterogeneity may make the identification of …

We hypothesize that high-level visual representations contain more than the representation
of individual categories: they represent complex semantic information inherent in scenes …

Low-level features are typically continuous (eg, the gamut between two colors), but semantic
information is often categorical (there is no corresponding gradient between dog and turtle) …

Considerable research has been devoted to understanding the fundamental organizing
principles of the ventral visual pathway. A recent study revealed a series of 3–4 …

A long standing goal in neuroscience has been to elucidate the functional organization of
the brain. Within higher visual cortex, functional accounts have remained relatively coarse …

One ultimate goal of visual neuroscience is to understand how the brain processes visual
stimuli encountered in the natural environment. Achieving this goal requires records of brain …

Food neophobia is the fear of new foods, and it is associated with negative health outcomes.
Recent work suggests that it is negatively correlated with the ability to discriminate visually …
