Vision-language encoding models reveal an image-computable food-quality dimension in human occipitotemporal cortex

The paper decomposes perceived calorie ratings from food images using CLIP embeddings and shows that a visual-semantic component explains neural representations in ventral visual cortex.

Representational structure of perceived food attributes in human occipitotemporal cortex

The paper uses fMRI and RSA to show that food-related neural representations in occipitotemporal cortex reflect perceived calorie, health, and category structure, but not isolated calorie coding.
