[HTML][HTML] Using artificial neural networks to ask 'why'questions of minds and brains
Neuroscientists have long characterized the properties and functions of the nervous system,
and are increasingly succeeding in answering how brains perform the tasks they do. But the …

Understanding human object vision: a picture is worth a thousand representations
S Bracci, HP Op de Beeck - Annual review of psychology, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Objects are the core meaningful elements in our visual environment. Classic theories of
object vision focus upon object recognition and are elegant and simple. Some of their …

Better models of human high-level visual cortex emerge from natural language supervision with a large and diverse dataset
High-performing neural networks for vision have dramatically advanced our ability to
account for neural data in biological systems. Recently, further improvement in performance …

Color appearance and the end of Hering's Opponent-Colors Theory
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 …

Selectivity for food in human ventral visual cortex
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 …

Color-biased regions in the ventral visual pathway are food selective
Color-biased regions have been found between face-and place-selective areas in the
ventral visual pathway. To investigate the function of the color-biased regions in a pathway …

The neural code for “face cells” is not face-specific
Face cells are neurons that respond more to faces than to non-face objects. They are found
in clusters in the inferotemporal cortex, thought to process faces specifically, and, hence …

Incorporating natural language into vision models improves prediction and understanding of higher visual cortex
We hypothesize that high-level visual representations contain more than the representation
of individual categories: they represent complex semantic information inherent in scenes …

Neural wave machines: learning spatiotemporally structured representations with locally coupled oscillatory recurrent neural networks
Traveling waves have been measured at a diversity of regions and scales in the brain,
however a consensus as to their computational purpose has yet to be reached. An intriguing …
