This paper develops compact deep neural network models that predict macaque V4 neural responses with high accuracy while using significantly fewer parameters than existing models.

The paper shows that recent visual experience reshapes V4 neuronal activity, leading to improved perceptual performance through reduced neural responses and increased signal separation.

This study shows that early postnatal visual experience enhances natural scene discriminability in V1 by reducing low-spatial frequency grating-responsive neurons and increasing natural scene responsiveness.
