The paper shows that macaque ventral stream neurons respond to images with a simple-to-complex selectivity progression over time, mirroring the visual hierarchy.

The paper predicts neuronal activity in one visual cortical area from another in single trials, with or without visual stimulation, in mice and macaques.

The paper shows that ventral visual cortex responses in monkeys remain retinotopic during natural vision, tracking individual fixations rather than becoming gaze-invariant.

This paper evolves synthetic stimuli using deep generative networks and genetic algorithms to maximize neuronal firing in macaque visual cortex, finding that these stimuli outperform natural images.
