Drawing is a cognitive tool that makes the invisible contents of mental life visible. Humans
use this tool to produce a remarkable variety of pictures, from realistic portraits to schematic …

Object recognition is the process by which humans organize the visual world into
meaningful perceptual units. In this Review, we examine the developmental origins and …

Categorization represents one cognitive ability fundamental to animal behavior. Grouping of
elements based on perceptual or semantic features helps to reduce processing resources …

An important milestone for AI is the development of algorithms that can produce drawings
that are indistinguishable from those of humans. Here, we adapt the'diversity vs …

Humans can effortlessly draw new categories from a single exemplar, a feat that has long
posed a challenge for generative models. However, this gap has started to close with recent …

Humans have the remarkable ability to learn new categories from few examples, but how
few examples can we actually learn from? Recent studies suggest it may be possible to …

Vision is widely understood as an inference problem. However, two contrasting conceptions
of the inference process have each been influential in research on biological vision as well …

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are the basis for many energy-efficient neuromorphic
hardware systems. While there has been substantial progress in SNN research, artificial …

Object recognition is the process by which humans organize the visual world into
meaningful perceptual units. To understand this ability in humans, it is important to examine …

Many objects and materials in our environment are subject to transformations that alter their
shape. For example, branches bend in the wind, ice melts, and paper crumples. Still, we …
