Our ability to recognize an object amongst many exemplars is one of our most important features, and one that putatively distinguishes humans from non-human animals and potentially from (current) computational and artificial intelligence models. We c...
Visual motion perception underpins behaviors ranging from navigation to depth perception and grasping. Our limited access to biological systems constrains our understanding of how motion is processed within the brain. Here we explore properties of mo...

A visual object is characterized by multiple visual features, including its identity, position and size. Despite the usefulness of identity and nonidentity features in vision and their joint coding throughout the primate ventral visual processing pat...
In the last two decades rodents have been on the rise as a dominant model for visual neuroscience. This is particularly true for earlier levels of information processing, but a number of studies have suggested that also higher levels of processing su...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are increasingly used to model human vision due to their high object categorization capabilities and general correspondence with human brain responses. Here we evaluate the performance of 14 different CNNs compare...
It is an open question whether preferences for visual art can be lawfully predicted from the basic constituent elements of a visual image. Here, we developed and tested a computational framework to investigate how aesthetic values are formed. We show...
Top-down processing in neocortex underlies functions such as prediction, expectation, and attention. Visual systems have much feedback connection that carries information of behavioral context. Top-down signals along feedback pathways modulate the re...
Assistant devices such as meal-assist robots aid individuals with disabilities and support the elderly in performing daily activities. However, existing meal-assist robots are inconvenient to operate due to non-intuitive user interfaces, requiring ad...
The human visual cortex enables visual perception through a cascade of hierarchical computations in cortical regions with distinct functionalities. Here, we introduce an AI-driven approach to discover the functional mapping of the visual cortex. We r...

Sitting in a static railway carriage can produce illusory self-motion if the train on an adjoining track moves off. While our visual system registers motion, vestibular signals indicate that we are stationary. The brain is faced with a difficult chal...
