Acceleration of vision changes object representations from infancy to adulthood

The paper shows that accelerating visual information flow in adults mimics infant vision, reducing fine-grained object distinctions while preserving general object representations.

Animate-inanimate object categorization from minimal visual information in the human brain, human behavior, and deep neural networks

The paper shows that animacy categorization persists in humans and DNNs even with severely impoverished visual stimuli, indicating early and robust neural representation of animacy.

Hard-to-beat animacy perception: EEG evidence of accurate animate-inanimate distinction for ambiguous objects

The paper uses EEG to show that humans accurately distinguish animate from inanimate objects, even when objects resemble animals, and that this ability is not affected by the degree of animal-like appearance.

Visual object categorization in infancy

This study investigates how infants categorize objects and finds an incremental development of visual object categorization from 4 to 19 months, with milestones based on saliency and animate-inanimate distinctions.
