The paper predicts performance in two visual search tasks using neural representational similarity from fMRI, MEG, and DNNs, finding task-specific patterns of neural similarity that predict performance.

The paper shows that implicitly learned co-occurrence statistics between distractor shapes improve visual search efficiency.

The paper shows that attentional modulation affects body shape processing in visual cortex even when bodies are not task-relevant, indicating a spatially-global attention mechanism for body shapes.
