How neurons in the human medial temporal lobe process Mooney images

Marcelo Armentariz presented his work studying how neural circuits in the human brain can learn about visual objects in a few-shot fashion at the Annual Meeting of the Vision Sciences Society.

Remarkably, neurons rapidly change their response pattern upon learning to recognize complex images. Can you recognize what’s in the image on the left?
