Paria Mehrani presents “Learning a model of shape selectivity in V4 cells reveals shape encoding mechanisms in the brain” at Neuroscience 2021

By tech | November 10, 2021 | Category Presentations

Venues: Neurosciences 2021, Virtual Paper:Learning a model of shape selectivity in V4 cells reveals shape encoding mechanisms in the brain Abstract: The mechanisms of local shape information transformation from V1 to more abstract representations in IT are unknown. Studying the selectivities in intermediate stages of transformation suggest plausible mechanisms. For example, findings in Macaque V4 […]

Paria Mehrani presents “Learning a model of shape selectivity in V4 cells reveals shape encoding mechanisms in the brain” at CVR 2021

By tech | July 20, 2021 | Category Presentations

Venue: CVR 2021, Virtual Paper: Learning a model of shape selectivity in V4 cells reveals shape encoding mechanisms in the brain Abstract: The mechanisms involved in transforming early visual signals to curvature representations in V4 are unknown. We propose a hierarchical model that reveals V1/V2 encodings that are essential components for this transformation to the […]

Paria Mehrani presents “Multiplicative modulations enhance unique hue representation in V4” at Neuroscience 2019

By tech | October 25, 2019 | Category Presentations

Venue: Neuroscience 2019, Chicago, IL Paper: Multiplicative modulations enhance unique hue representation in V4 Abstract: Which region in the brain represents unique hues is unknown. We introduce a hierarchical model inspired by neural mechanisms in the visual system for local hue representation and with computational simulations suggest that cells in V4 have the capacity to […]

Paria Mehrani presents “Early Recurrence Enables Figure Border Ownership” at the Society for Neuroscience Meeting 2019

By tech | October 25, 2019 | Category Presentations

Venue: Neuroscience 2019, Chicago, IL Paper:Early Recurrence Enables Figure Border Ownership Abstract: Rubin’s face-vase illusion demonstrates how one can switch between two different interpretations depending on how the figure outlines are assigned [1]. This border ownership assignment is an important step in the perception of forms. Zhou et al. [2] found neurons in the visual […]

Paria Mehrani presents “Multiplicative modulations enhance unique hue representation” at CVR 2019

By tech | July 29, 2019 | Category Presentations

Venue: CVR 2019, York University Paper: Multiplicative modulations enhance unique hue representation Abstract: There is still much to understand about the color processing mechanisms in the brain and the transformation from cone-opponent representations to perceptual hues. Moreover, it is unclear which areas(s) in the brain represent unique hues. We propose a hierarchical model inspired by […]

Paria Mehrani presents “Multiplicative modulations in hue-selective cells enhance unique hue representation” at ICVS 2019

By tech | June 29, 2019 | Category Presentations

Venue: ICVS 2019, Latvia Paper:Multiplicative modulations in hue-selective cells enhance unique hue representation Abstract: Which region in the brain represents unique hues is a matter of debate among color vision researchers [1, 2]. Here, we introduce a hierarchical model inspired by neural mechanisms in the visual system for local hue representation and with computational simulations […]
