Shape interactions in macaque inferior temporal neurons.
Missal et al. observed that the responses of inferior temporal (IT) neurons to a shape were reduced markedly when this shape partially overlapped a larger second shape, suggesting that shape interactions determine IT responses. In the present study, we compared the responses of IT neurons with combinations of two shapes which did or did not overlap and studied the effect of the relative and abs...
متن کاملSelectivity of macaque inferior temporal neurons for partially occluded shapes.
Humans are able to recognize shapes even when they are partially occluded by another pattern. We determined whether inferior temporal (IT) units of awake rhesus monkey remain selective for shapes that are partially occluded by other patterns. In order to link the shape selectivity to shape discrimination, we established that the monkey, like humans, can discriminate partially occluded shapes. W...
متن کاملSpatial sensitivity of macaque inferior temporal neurons.
Recent findings in dorsal visual stream areas and computational work raise the question whether neurons at the end station of the ventral visual stream can code for stimulus position. The authors provide the first detailed, quantitative data on the spatial sensitivity of neurons in the anterior part of the inferior temporal cortex (area TE) in awake, fixating monkeys. They observed a large vari...
متن کاملShape tuning in macaque inferior temporal cortex.
Neurons in the inferior temporal cortex (IT) of the macaque fire more strongly to some shapes than others, but little is known about how to characterize this shape tuning more generally, because most previous studies have used somewhat arbitrary variations in the stimuli with unspecified magnitudes of the changes. The present investigation studied the modulation of IT cells to nonaccidental pro...
متن کاملSelectivity of Local Field Potentials in Macaque Inferior Temporal Cortex
While single neurons in inferior temporal (IT) cortex show differential responses to distinct complex stimuli, little is known about the responses of populations of neurons in IT. We recorded single electrode data, including multi-unit activity (MUA) and local field potentials (LFP), from 618 sites in the inferior temporal cortex of macaque monkeys while the animals passively viewed 78 differen...
