The functional neuroanatomy of human face perception

K Grill-Spector, KS Weiner, K Kay… - Annual review of vision …, 2017‏ - annualreviews.org
Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …

Computational neuroimaging and population receptive fields

BA Wandell, J Winawer - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2015‏ - cell.com
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) noninvasively measures human brain
activity at millimeter resolution. Scientists use different approaches to take advantage of the …

A massive 7T fMRI dataset to bridge cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence

EJ Allen, G St-Yves, Y Wu, JL Breedlove… - Nature …, 2022‏ - nature.com

Variational autoencoder: An unsupervised model for encoding and decoding fMRI activity in visual cortex

K Han, H Wen, J Shi, KH Lu, Y Zhang, D Fu, Z Liu - NeuroImage, 2019‏ - Elsevier
Goal-driven and feedforward-only convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been shown to
be able to predict and decode cortical responses to natural images or videos. Here, we …

Brain-optimized deep neural network models of human visual areas learn non-hierarchical representations

G St-Yves, EJ Allen, Y Wu, K Kay, T Naselaris - Nature communications, 2023‏ - nature.com
Deep neural networks (DNNs) optimized for visual tasks learn representations that align
layer depth with the hierarchy of visual areas in the primate brain. One interpretation of this …

Working memory representations in visual cortex mediate distraction effects

GE Hallenbeck, TC Sprague, M Rahmati… - Nature …, 2021‏ - nature.com
Although the contents of working memory can be decoded from visual cortex activity, these
representations may play a limited role if they are not robust to distraction. We used model …

Bayesian analysis of retinotopic maps

NC Benson, J Winawer - elife, 2018‏ - elifesciences.org
Human visual cortex is organized into multiple retinotopic maps. Characterizing the
arrangement of these maps on the cortical surface is essential to many visual neuroscience …

Joint representation of working memory and uncertainty in human cortex

HH Li, TC Sprague, AH Yoo, WJ Ma, CE Curtis - Neuron, 2021‏ - cell.com
Neural representations of visual working memory (VWM) are noisy, and thus, decisions
based on VWM are inevitably subject to uncertainty. However, the mechanisms by which the …

Time-compressed preplay of anticipated events in human primary visual cortex

M Ekman, P Kok, FP de Lange - Nature communications, 2017‏ - nature.com
Perception is guided by the anticipation of future events. It has been hypothesized that this
process may be implemented by pattern completion in early visual cortex, in which a …

Anatomy of the visual word form area: adjacent cortical circuits and long-range white matter connections

JD Yeatman, AM Rauschecker, BA Wandell - Brain and language, 2013‏ - Elsevier
Circuitry in ventral occipital-temporal cortex is essential for seeing words. We analyze the
circuitry within a specific ventral–occipital region, the visual word form area (VWFA). The …
