Spatially Pooled Contrast Responses Predict Neural and Perceptual Similarity of Naturalistic Image Categories
The visual world is complex and continuously changing. Yet, our brain transforms patterns of light falling on our retina into a coherent percept within a few hundred milliseconds. Possibly, low-level neural responses already carry substantial information to facilitate rapid characterization of the visual input. Here, we computationally estimated low-level contrast responses to computer-generate...
متن کاملModelling the perceptual similarity of facial expressions from image statistics and neural responses
The ability to perceive facial expressions of emotion is essential for effective social communication. We investigated how the perception of facial expression emerges from the image properties that convey this important social signal, and how neural responses in face-selective brain regions might track these properties. To do this, we measured the perceptual similarity between expressions of ba...
متن کاملPerceptual image similarity experiments
In this paper, we study how human observers judge image similarity. To do so, we have conducted two psychophysical scaling experiments and have compared the results to two algorithmic image similarity metrics. For these experiments, we selected a set of 97 digitized photographic images which represent a range of semantic categories, viewing distances, and colors. We then used the two perceptual...
متن کاملColor-based estimates of stimulus similarity predict perceptual similarity of image pairs to monkeys
Introduction: Studies of object perception are hampered by the difficulty of mathematically describing the similarity of realistic images. Recently, color based metrics have been developed to search for similar images in large databases of realistic images. Such metrics have been shown to predict human subjects’ similarity rankings of realistic images, because the color of realistic images ofte...
متن کاملPerceptual and Neural Olfactory Similarity in Honeybees
The question of whether or not neural activity patterns recorded in the olfactory centres of the brain correspond to olfactory perceptual measures remains unanswered. To address this question, we studied olfaction in honeybees Apis mellifera using the olfactory conditioning of the proboscis extension response. We conditioned bees to odours and tested generalisation responses to different odours...
