The anterior inferotemporal cortex (IT) is the highest stage along the hierarchy of visual
areas that, in primates, processes visual objects. Although several lines of evidence suggest …

Making successful decisions under uncertainty due to noisy sensory signals is thought to
benefit from previous experience. However, the human brain mechanisms that mediate …

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 …

A dominant view in the cognitive neuroscience of object vision is that regions of the ventral
visual pathway exhibit some degree of category selectivity. However, recent findings …

Recently, a multidisciplinary approach has provided new insights into the mechanisms of
category learning. In this article, results from theoretical modeling, experimental psychology …

Understanding how we recognize objects requires unravelling the variables that govern the
way we think about objects and the neural organization of object representations. A tenable …

Despite the importance of visual categorization for interpreting sensory experiences, little is
known about the neural representations that mediate categorical decisions in the human …

Subjective similarity holds a prominent place in many psychological theories, influencing
diverse cognitive processes ranging from attention and categorization to memory and …

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

Perceptual similarity is a cognitive judgment that represents the end-stage of a complex
cascade of hierarchical processing throughout visual cortex. Previous studies have shown a …
