How does our brain allow us to make sense of our visual world? Work led by @OliverContier w/ @Chris_I_Baker now out in @NatureHumBehav provides support for a theoretical framework of behaviorally-relevant selectivity beyond high-level categorization. 🧵 x.com/OliverContier/status/1…

Hugely excited that this work with @martin_hebart and @Chris_I_Baker is now out in @NatureHumBehav !!! By moving from a category-focused to a behaviour-focused model, we identified behaviourally relevant object information throughout visual cortex. nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Studies on macaques indicate that high-level regions of the ventral visual pathway are organized around a two-dimensional object space. This space captures the main two dimensions on which objects visually differ as derived from activation patterns in a neural network. 2/7

A trend I've really loved: Seeing all the flyers for different lab's presentations @VSSMtg! Here's a little collage of all the ones I've seen so far (found by using the #VSS2024 hashtag). If I've missed yours, please share it below!
It's @VSSMtg week! So excited to share this year's projects from the lab, including brand new research directions and some deep dives on foundational issues. More info @ perception.jhu.edu/vss/. See you on the 🏖! #VSS2024
