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 …

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

JS Prince, GA Alvarez, T Konkle - Science Advances, 2024 - science.org

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 …

Computational models of category-selective brain regions enable high-throughput tests of selectivity

A self-supervised domain-general learning framework for human ventral stream representation

T Konkle, GA Alvarez - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
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 …

The macaque face patch system: a turtle's underbelly for the brain

JK Hesse, DY Tsao - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2020 - nature.com
