Current models of visual cortex fail to generalize
05/01/2024 Spandan Madan gives a talk at the Center for Brain Science Neurolunch Spandan scrutinizes the ability of models of visual cortex to explain neuronal responses and finds a poor ability to extrapolate to novel stimuli, forcing us to revisit whether such models capture the critical properties of vision.
