A rich behavioral literature has shown that human object recognition is supported by a
representation of shape that is tolerant to variations in an object's appearance …

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 …

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are increasingly used to model human vision due to
their high object categorization capabilities and general correspondence with human brain …

Converging evidence suggests that the primate ventral visual pathway encodes increasingly
complex stimulus features in downstream areas. We quantitatively show that there indeed …

" Brings together the cognitive, the cultural, and the neurological in an elegant, compelling
narrative. A revelatory work."--Oliver Sacks, MD The act of reading is so easily taken for …

Linguistic analyses suggest that sentences are not mere strings of words but possess a
hierarchical structure with constituents nested inside each other. We used functional …

A typical scene contains many different objects that, because of the limited processing
capacity of the visual system, compete for neural representation. The competition among …

Part of human cortex is specialized for cultural domains such as reading and arithmetic,
whose invention is too recent to have influenced the evolution of our species …

Here we review recent findings that reveal the functional properties of extra-striate regions in
the human visual cortex that are involved in the representation and perception of objects …

Much of the visual cortex is organized into visual field maps: nearby neurons have receptive
fields at nearby locations in the image. Mammalian species generally have multiple visual …
