Delineating the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex is central to advancing
models of goal‐directed cognition. Considerable evidence indicates that specific forms of …

How is reading, a cultural invention, coded by neural populations in the human brain? The
neural code for written words must be abstract, because we can recognize words regardless …

Mounting evidence suggests that 'core object recognition,'the ability to rapidly recognize
objects despite substantial appearance variation, is solved in the brain via a cascade of …

Visual object recognition is of fundamental importance to most animals. The diversity of
tasks that any biological recognition system must solve suggests that object recognition is …

Selective visual attention is believed to be responsible for serializing visual information for
recognizing one object at a time in a complex scene. But how can we attend to objects …

Background: The inferior temporal cortex (IT) of the monkey has long been known to play an
essential role in visual object recognition. Damage to this area results in severe deficits in …

The ability of humans to recognize a nearly unlimited number of unique visual objects must
be based on a robust and efficient learning mechanism that extracts complex visual features …

Understanding how biological visual systems recognize objects is one of the ultimate goals
in computational neuroscience. From the computational viewpoint of learning, different …

Shimon Ullman focuses on the processes of high-level vision that deal with the interpretation
and use of what is seen in the image. In this book, Shimon Ullman focuses on the processes …

Neurophysiological evidence is described, showing that some neurons in the macaque
temporal cortical visual areas have responses that are invariant with respect to the position …
