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 …

Incoming sensory information is sent to the brain along modality-specific channels
corresponding to the five senses. Each of these channels further parses the incoming …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

Visual area V4 is a midtier cortical area in the ventral visual pathway. It is crucial for visual
object recognition and has been a focus of many studies on visual attention. However, there …

Shape is represented in the visual system by patterns of activity across populations of
neurons. We studied the population code for shape in area V4 of macaque monkeys, which …

The two contrasting theoretical approaches to visual perception, the constructivist and the
ecological, are briefly presented and illustrated through their analyses of space and size …

Visual shape recognition in primates depends on a multi-stage pathway running from
primary visual cortex (V1) to inferotemporal cortex (IT). The mechanisms by which local …

▪ Abstract Binocular disparity provides the visual system with information concerning the
three-dimensional layout of the environment. Recent physiological studies in the primary …

We investigated the motor and visual properties of F5 grasping neurons, using a controlled
paradigm that allows the study of the neuronal discharge during both observation and …

Object perception depends on shape processing in the ventral visual pathway, which in
monkeys culminates in inferotemporal cortex (IT). Here we provide a description of …
