Temporal dynamics of 2D and 3D shape representation in macaque visual area V4.

چکیده
We studied the temporal dynamics of shape representation in area V4 of the alert macaque monkey. Analyses were based on two large stimulus sets, one equivalent to the 2D shape stimuli used in a previous study of V2, and the other a set of stereoscopic 3D shape stimuli. As in V2, we found that information conveyed by individual V4 neurons about the stimuli tended to be maximal during the initial transient response and generally lower, albeit statistically significant, afterwards. The population response was substantially correlated from one stimulus to the next during the transients, and decorrelated as responses decayed. V4 responses showed significantly longer latencies than in V2, especially for the 3D stimulus set. Recordings from area V1 in a single animal revealed temporal dynamic patterns in response to the 2D shape stimuli that were largely similar to those in V2 and V4. Together with earlier results, these findings provide evidence for a distributed process of coarse-to-fine representation of shape stimuli in the visual cortex.

متن کاملThe retinotopic organization of macaque occipitotemporal cortex anterior to V4 and caudoventral to the middle temporal (MT) cluster.
The retinotopic organization of macaque occipitotemporal cortex rostral to area V4 and caudorostral to the recently described middle temporal (MT) cluster of the monkey (Kolster et al., 2009) is not well established. The proposed number of areas within this region varies from one to four, underscoring the ambiguity concerning the functional organization in this region of extrastriate cortex. We...
متن کاملHand Gesture Recognition from RGB-D Data using 2D and 3D Convolutional Neural Networks: a comparative study
Despite considerable enhances in recognizing hand gestures from still images, there are still many challenges in the classification of hand gestures in videos. The latter comes with more challenges, including higher computational complexity and arduous task of representing temporal features. Hand movement dynamics, represented by temporal features, have to be extracted by analyzing the total fr...
متن کاملShape discrimination deficits during reversible deactivation of area V4 in the macaque monkey.
The role of area V4 in the primate extrastriate cortex has received much attention in recent years. However, the deficit specificity following area V4 ablations has been difficult to determine due to the ablations including area V4 and additional adjacent areas, deficit attenuation and the numerous variations in the results of different research teams. In order to address these issues, we exami...
