Inter-animal transforms as a guide to model-brain comparison

Accurately measuring similarity between different animals’ neural responses is a crucial step towards evaluating deep neural network (DNN) models of the brain. Under what transform class are animals likely to be similar to each other, and how much …

Recurrent Connections in the Primate Ventral Visual Stream Mediate a Trade-Off Between Task Performance and Network Size During Core Object Recognition

The computational role of the abundant feedback connections in the ventral visual stream is unclear, enabling humans and nonhuman primates to effortlessly recognize objects across a multitude of viewing conditions. Prior studies have augmented …
