Existing models propose that primate visual cortex is divided into two functionally distinct
pathways. The ventral pathway computes the identity of an object; the dorsal pathway …

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) inspired by biology are beginning to be widely used to
model behavioural and neural data, an approach we call 'neuroconnectionism'. ANNs have …

Cognition can be defined as computation over meaningful representations in the brain to
produce adaptive behaviour. There are two views on the relationship between cognition and …

The inferotemporal (IT) cortex is responsible for object recognition, but it is unclear how the
representation of visual objects is organized in this part of the brain. Areas that are selective …

Primates recognize complex objects such as faces with remarkable speed and reliability.
Here, we reveal the brain's code for facial identity. Experiments in macaques demonstrate …

To learn how cognition is implemented in the brain, we must build computational models
that can perform cognitive tasks, and test such models with brain and behavioral …

How does education affect cortical organization? All literate adults possess a region
specialized for letter strings, the visual word form area (VWFA), within the mosaic of ventral …

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 …

Primates have evolved diverse cognitive capabilities to navigate their complex social world.
To understand how the brain implements critical social cognitive abilities, we describe …

Face perception relies on computations carried out in face-selective cortical areas. These
areas have been intensively investigated for two decades, and this work has been guided by …
