Research Articles, Behavioral/Cognitive Stefania Bracci, J. Brendan Ritchie, Ioannis Kalfas and Hans P. Op de Beeck Journal of Neuroscience 14 August 2019, 39 (33) 6513-6525; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1714-18.2019 Abstract Recent studies showed agreement between how the human brain and neural networks represent objects, suggesting that we might start to understand the underlying computations.

Shape Selectivity of Middle Superior Temporal Sulcus Body Patch Neurons

Abstract Functional MRI studies in primates have demonstrated cortical regions that are strongly activated by visual images of bodies. The presence of such body patches in macaques allows characterization of the stimulus selectivity of their single neurons. Middle superior temporal sulcus body (MSB) patch neurons showed similar stimulus selectivity for natural, shaded, and textured images compared with their silhouettes, suggesting that shape is an important determinant of MSB responses.

How our Visual Neurons relate to Deep Neural Networks

|
By Ioannis Kalfas
| Knowing Neurons Verified
Our brain has been evolving for millions of years, ever-changing and adjusting to handle novel stimuli and conditions, looking like a bag of slimy, gooey matter folded in various ways inside our head. This organ and the billions of neurons that it is composed of are our best bet for understanding what intelligence is and how it emerges. But another good bet is to create (artificial) intelligence ourselves and then explain our own creation.
