Objects are the core meaningful elements in our visual environment. Classic theories of
object vision focus upon object recognition and are elegant and simple. Some of their …

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 …

Prior work has identified cortical regions selectively responsive to specific categories of
visual stimuli. However, this hypothesis-driven work cannot reveal how prominent these …

" This book provides a framework for thinking about foundational philosophical questions
surrounding machine learning as an approach to artificial intelligence. Specifically, it links …

Patterns of brain activity contain meaningful information about the perceived world. Recent
decades have welcomed a new era in neural analyses, with computational techniques from …

Face cells are neurons that respond more to faces than to non-face objects. They are found
in clusters in the inferotemporal cortex, thought to process faces specifically, and, hence …

Considerable research has been devoted to understanding the fundamental organizing
principles of the ventral visual pathway. A recent study revealed a series of 3–4 …

Responses to visually presented objects along the cortical surface of the human brain have
a large-scale organization reflecting the broad categorical divisions of animacy and object …

The foundation of art processes in the social brain can guide the scientific study of how
human beings perceive and interact with their environment. Here, we applied the theoretical …

Categorization is an essential cognitive and perceptual process, which happens
spontaneously. However, earlier research often neglected the spontaneous nature of this …
