This study compares symmetry perception dynamics between marmosets and humans using non-invasive electrophysiology, finding conserved fast processing but reduced sustained processing in marmosets.

The paper investigates how the brain combines visual and auditory information into coherent object representations, finding integrative coding in the anterior temporal lobe.

The paper examines pRF size along the AP axis of the hippocampus and finds it correlates with scene sensitivity, similar to surrounding MTL regions.

The paper investigates how attention modulates neural representations in children and adults using fMRI, finding that children's visual cortex does not sharpen representations of attended items as adults do.

The paper investigates how task context affects neural representations of scene attributes and categories in the prefrontal cortex, finding task-dependent representations for attributes but not categories.

The paper introduces scene wheels, a method to control visual properties of natural scenes using GANs, and validates their use in assessing perceptual and mnemonic representations through behavioral experiments.

The paper decodes scene categories from brain activity across visual and auditory modalities, showing prefrontal cortex represents these categories in a modality-independent manner.

The paper identifies neural activity patterns in high-level visual brain regions associated with architectural styles, showing the fusiform face area (FFA) plays a significant role in encoding these styles beyond basic scene categories.
