Inferior temporal cortex plays an important role in shape recognition. To study the shape
selectivity of single inferior temporal neurons, we recorded their responses to a set of …

Understanding the brain computations leading to object recognition requires quantitative
characterization of the information represented in inferior temporal (IT) cortex. We used a …

Differences in the horizontal positions of retinal images—binocular disparity—provide
important cues for three-dimensional object recognition and manipulation. We investigated …

In this thesis, I describe a quantitative model that accounts for the circuits and computations
of the feedforward path of the ventral stream of visual cortex. This model is consistent with a …

Behavioral studies with parameterized shapes have shown that the similarities among these
complex stimuli can be represented using a low number of dimensions. Using …

It is widely assumed that distributed bell‐shaped tuning (eg Radial Basis functions)
characterizes the shape selectivity of macaque inferior temporal (IT) neurons, analogous to …

Ghose, Geoffrey M. and Daniel Y. Ts'o. Form processing modules in primate area V4. J.
Neurophysiol. 77: 2191–2196, 1997. Area V4 occupies a central position among the areas …

The extrastriate visual cortex can be divided into functionally distinct temporal and parietal
regions, which have been implicated in feature-related ('what') and spatial ('where') vision …

The analysis of object shape is critical for both object recognition and grasping. Areas in the
intraparietal sulcus of the rhesus monkey are important for the visuomotor transformations …

Area V4 is an intermediate stage of the ventral visual pathway providing major input to the
final stages in the inferior temporal cortex (IT). This pathway is involved in the processing of …
