Texture-like representations support object perception in dCNNs and the human brain. Humans identify objects by the presence of complex visual features arranged in particular configurations. How does the visual system represent objects? In one widely held account (“holistic object” hypothesis), the ventral temporal cortex (VTC) explicitly represents objects as a whole, such that it is […]

When the ventral visual stream is not enough: A deep learning account of medial temporal lobe involvement in perception Animals seamlessly integrate sensory activity with previously encountered, behaviorally relevant experience. Neuroanatomical structures within the medial temporal lobe, such as perirhinal cortex (PRC), are known to enable these memory-related behaviors. Yet there is an enduring debate […]
