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

Deep learning and predictive coding architectures commonly assume that inference in
neural networks is hierarchical. However, largely neglected in deep learning and predictive …

In Animacies, Mel Y. Chen draws on recent debates about sexuality, race, and affect to
examine how matter that is considered insensate, immobile, or deathly animates cultural …

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 …

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 …

This review begins with a brief historical overview of attempts in the first half of the 20th
century to discern brain systems that underlie emotion and emotional behavior. These early …

PART 2: A REDUCTIONIST APPROACH TO BRAIN SCIENCE and mutable, so they can
change and pass those changes on from one generation to the next. Schrödinger …

Abstract Objects constitute the fundamental currency of our consciousness: they are the
things that we perceive, remember and think about. One of the most important objects for a …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Face recognition is of central importance for primate social behavior. In both humans and
macaques, the visual analysis of faces is supported by a set of specialized face areas. The …
