Body size as a metric for the affordable world

This study explores how human body size influences perception of environmental affordances, finding that body size defines a boundary for action possibilities and that this boundary is not exclusive to embodied organisms.

The face module emerged in a deep convolutional neural network selectively deprived of face experience

This study shows that a deep convolutional neural network deprived of face experience still develops face-selective modules, suggesting domain-specificity can emerge without genetic predisposition.

Implementation-independent representation for deep convolutional neural networks and humans in processing faces

This study compares internal representations of human observers and a deep convolutional neural network in gender classification tasks, finding similar representations at low spatial frequencies.
