Prof. Kreiman gives a lecture at UC Berkeley
09/18/2024 Successes and challenges in computational models of vision We now have powerful computer vision algorithms that can segment scenes, label objects, and recognize actions. It is tempting to use these algorithms as models of visual processing in biological brains. I will provide an overview of some of the successes in using neural network models to partially describe visual behavior and predict neuronal responses in the visual system of monkeys and humans, focusing on the ventral stream associated with object recognition.… Read more

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.

Will Xiao on visual cortex activity during free viewing
04/29/2024 Feature-selective responses in macaque visual cortex follow eye movements during natural vision How do visual cortex neurons respond during free viewing conditions? Will Xiao’s tour-de-force work answering this question was published in Nature Neuroscience. Read more
