Scene perception in the human brain

RA Epstein, CI Baker - Annual review of vision science, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Humans are remarkably adept at perceiving and understanding complex real-world scenes.
Uncovering the neural basis of this ability is an important goal of vision science …

[HTML][HTML] The evolution of distributed association networks in the human brain

RL Buckner, FM Krienen - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2013 - cell.com
The human cerebral cortex is vastly expanded relative to other primates and
disproportionately occupied by distributed association regions. Here we offer a hypothesis …

A map of object space in primate inferotemporal cortex

P Bao, L She, M McGill, DY Tsao - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
The inferotemporal (IT) cortex is responsible for object recognition, but it is unclear how the
representation of visual objects is organized in this part of the brain. Areas that are selective …

Distributed representations of behaviour-derived object dimensions in the human visual system

O Contier, CI Baker, MN Hebart - Nature Human Behaviour, 2024 - nature.com
Object vision is commonly thought to involve a hierarchy of brain regions processing
increasingly complex image features, with high-level visual cortex supporting object …

Recurrence is required to capture the representational dynamics of the human visual system

TC Kietzmann, CJ Spoerer, LKA Sörensen… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - pnas.org
The human visual system is an intricate network of brain regions that enables us to
recognize the world around us. Despite its abundant lateral and feedback connections …

Contrastive learning explains the emergence and function of visual category-selective regions

JS Prince, GA Alvarez, T Konkle - Science Advances, 2024 - science.org
Modular and distributed coding theories of category selectivity along the human ventral
visual stream have long existed in tension. Here, we present a reconciling framework …

Cortical topographic motifs emerge in a self-organized map of object space

FR Doshi, T Konkle - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
The human ventral visual stream has a highly systematic organization of object information,
but the causal pressures driving these topographic motifs are highly debated. Here, we use …

The features underlying the memorability of objects

MA Kramer, MN Hebart, CI Baker, WA Bainbridge - Science advances, 2023 - science.org
What makes certain images more memorable than others? While much of memory research
has focused on participant effects, recent studies using a stimulus-centric perspective have …

Mid-level visual features underlie the high-level categorical organization of the ventral stream

B Long, CP Yu, T Konkle - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2018 - pnas.org
Human object-selective cortex shows a large-scale organization characterized by the high-
level properties of both animacy and object size. To what extent are these neural responses …
