Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its
neuroanatomy, functional properties, and extrinsic targets has grown considerably. Here we …

Recent experimental studies and theoretical models have begun to address the challenge of
establishing a causal link between subjective conscious experience and measurable …

Abstract Machine learning models are vulnerable to adversarial examples: small changes to
images can cause computer vision models to make mistakes such as identifying a school …

WINNER OF THE 2014 BRAIN PRIZE From the acclaimed author of Reading in the Brain
and How We Learn, a breathtaking look at the new science that can track consciousness …

The visual system is exquisitely adapted to the task of extracting conceptual information from
visual input with every new eye fixation, three or four times a second. Here we assess the …

An analysis of response latencies shows that when an image is presented to the visual
system, neuronal activity is rapidly routed to a large number of visual areas. However, the …

Making inferences from partial information constitutes a critical aspect of cognition. During
visual perception, pattern completion enables recognition of poorly visible or occluded …

The majority of the research related to visual recognition has so far focused on bottom-up
analysis, where the input is processed in a cascade of cortical regions that analyze …

The subjective experience of perceiving visual stimuli is accompanied by objective neuronal
activity patterns such as sustained activity in primary visual area (V1), amplification of …

Most experimental and theoretical studies of brain function assume that neurons transmit
information as a rate code, but recent studies on the speed of visual processing impose …
