Coding of Object Size and Object Category in Human Visual Cortex.
A salient aspect of objects is their real-world size. Large objects tend to be fixed in the world and can act as navigational barriers and landmarks, whereas small objects tend to be moveable and manipulable. Previous work has identified regions of visual cortex that respond differentially to large versus small objects, but the role of size in organizing representations of object categories has...
متن کاملIdentifying Distributed Object Representations in Human Extrastriate Visual Cortex
The category of visual stimuli has been reliably decoded from patterns of neural activity in extrastriate visual cortex [1]. It has yet to be seen whether object identity can be inferred from this activity. We present fMRI data measuring responses in human extrastriate cortex to a set of 12 distinct object images. We use a simple winner-take-all classifier, using half the data from each recordi...
متن کاملTypicality sharpens category representations in object-selective cortex
The purpose of categorization is to identify generalizable classes of objects whose members can be treated equivalently. Within a category, however, some exemplars are more representative of that concept than others. Despite long-standing behavioral effects, little is known about how typicality influences the neural representation of real-world objects from the same category. Using fMRI, we sho...
متن کاملVisual object category recognition
We investigate two generative probabilistic models for category-level object recognition. Both schemes are designed to learn categories with a minimum of supervision, requiring only a set of images known to contain the target category from a similar viewpoint. In both methods, learning is translation and scale-invariant; does not require alignment or correspondence between the training images, ...
متن کاملNonvisual and visual object shape representations in occipitotemporal cortex: evidence from congenitally blind and sighted adults.
Knowledge of object shape is primarily acquired through the visual modality but can also be acquired through other sensory modalities. In the present study, we investigated the representation of object shape in humans without visual experience. Congenitally blind and sighted participants rated the shape similarity of pairs of 33 familiar objects, referred to by their names. The resulting shape ...
