Kobatake, Eucaly, Gang Wang, and Keiji Tanaka. Effects of shape-discrimination training on
the selectivity of inferotemporal cells in adult monkeys. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 324–330, 1998 …

The inferior temporal cortex (IT) of the monkey, a final stage in the ventral visual pathway,
has been known to process information on two-dimensional (2-D) shape, color, and texture …

Ventral and dorsal visual pathways perform fundamentally different functions. The former is
involved in object recognition, whereas the latter carries out spatial localization of stimuli …

Visual object recognition is computationally difficult because changes in an object's position,
distance, pose, or setting may cause it to produce a different retinal image on each …

1. To examine the way in which information from different visual submodalities is integrated
in the inferior temporal (IT) cortex of the monkey, we studied the relationships between the …

1. The inferotemporal cortex (IT) has been thought to play an essential and specific role in
visual object discrimination and recognition, because a lesion of IT in the monkey results in …

Size-invariant object recognition—the ability to recognize objects across transformations of
scale—is a fundamental feature of biological and artificial vision. To investigate its basis in …

It has long been known that macaque inferior temporal (IT) neurons tend to fire more
strongly to some shapes than to others, and that different IT neurons can show markedly …

To explore the role of visual area V2 in shape analysis, we studied the responses of neurons
in area V2 of the alert macaque using a set of 128 grating and geometric line stimuli that …

Visual shape recognition in primates depends on a multi-stage pathway running from
primary visual cortex (V1) to inferotemporal cortex (IT). The mechanisms by which local …
