Study Notes
Single Neurons in the Temporal Lobe
- Studies on single neurons in the temporal lobe support the theories of distributed code of object recognition
- Selectivity of neurons is often relative, not absolute, and can appear arbitrary
- For example, a single IT neuron may respond vigorously to a crescent of a particular color and texture
Object Recognition and Representation
- Objects could be reliably categorized and identified even when transformed (spatially shifted or scaled)
- Neurons with small receptive fields, such as retinal ganglion cells and V1, have highly curved object manifolds
- Object manifolds corresponding to different objects are "tangled" together
Natural Statistics and Performance
- Classifier performance was not affected by changes in spatial position and scale of objects
- Classifier saw each object only at one particular scale and position during training
- Natural statistics of screening images were similar to those of the testing set, but with different content and conditions
Neural Predictivity and Model Performance
- Performance of models was significantly correlated with neural predictivity in all cases
- Models that performed better on categorization tasks were more likely to produce outputs closely aligned to IT neural responses
- Hierarchical Linear-Nonlinear (HLN) hypothesis is consistent with a broad spectrum of neural network architectures, but specific parameter choices have a large effect on recognition performance and neural predictivity
