The current consensus divides primate cortical visual processing into two broad networks or
“streams” composed of highly interconnected areas (Milner and Goodale 2006, 2008; …

The advent of powerful perturbation tools, such as optogenetics, has created new frontiers
for probing causal dependencies in neural and behavioral states. These approaches have …

Computational modeling of the primate visual system yields insights of potential relevance to
some of the challenges that computer vision is facing, such as object recognition and …

To go beyond qualitative models of the biological substrate of object recognition, we ask:
can a single ventral stream neuronal linking hypothesis quantitatively account for core object …

One of the primary ways we interact with the world is using our hands. In macaques, the
circuit spanning the anterior intraparietal area, the hand area of the ventral premotor cortex …

Visual representations of bodies, in addition to those of faces, contribute to the recognition of
con-and heterospecifics, to action recognition, and to nonverbal communication. Despite its …

In primates, neural mechanisms for controlling skilled hand actions primarily rely on
sensorimotor transformations. These transformations are mediated by circuits linking specific …

Distinct processing of objects and space has been an organizing principle for studying
higher-level vision and medial temporal lobe memory. Here, however, we discuss how …

Artificial activation of neurons in early visual areas induces perception of simple visual
flashes. 1, 2 Accordingly, stimulation in high-level visual cortices is expected to induce …

The primate visual system consists of a ventral stream, specialized for object recognition,
and a dorsal visual stream, which is crucial for spatial vision and actions. However, little is …
