Paria Mehrani presents “Learning a model of shape selectivity in V4 cells reveals shape encoding mechanisms in the brain” at VSS 2021
Venue: VSS 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, Pasupathy and Conner [1] […]

Vision researchers at York University have disproved a long-standing theory of how the human vision system processes images, using computational models and human experiments. A team led by John Tsotsos, professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Lassonde School of Engineering, found that the human brain does not select interesting portions […]
