What You See Is What IT Gets - Responses in Primate Visual Cortex During Natural Viewing
Offered By: MITCBMM via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intricacies of primate visual cortex responses during natural viewing in this 38-minute lecture by Will Xiao from Harvard University. Delve into the differences between controlled viewing conditions and natural viewing, where frequent eye movements guided by subject-initiated saccades result in a sequence of related sensory input. Discover findings from recordings of interior temporal (IT) cortex neurons in macaque monkeys freely viewing natural images, including the responses of face-selective neurons and the effects of return fixations. Learn how computational models can partially explain neuronal responses and gain insights into how the IT cortex contributes to our daily visual perception. Understand the implications of these results for our understanding of how the brain maintains a stable visual world despite frequent eye movements.
