Object and face recognition The neural basis of Object and face recognition

Ventral pathway receptive field properties 2 TE receptive field V4 receptive field V1 receptive field

Responses of IT neurons to various stimuli Firing rate Stimulus

Neural Coding

The question of specificity: Is a face cell truly a “face specific” #1 #10 #100

Face selectivity in single units human MTL (Jennifer Aniston cell)

Face selectivity in single units human MTL

Face neuron clusters in IT

Responses of IT (TE) neurons

Tanaka’s stimulus reduction method

Tanaka et al, 1991

Tanaka Features

Columns in IT

Optical imaging in IT cortex

Columns in IT (seen with optical imaging)

Microstimulation of face populations in IT

Cortical Microstimulation biases perceptual decisions

fMRI

The human visual pathways

Object-Selective Regions in the Human Brain Lateral Occipital Complex: LOC > lateral view 10-4 10-10 10-4 left hemisphere right hemisphere 10-10 10-4 ventral view Malach et al., PNAS 1995

Cue-independent representations Objects from motion Left hemisphere Objects from luminance lateral Objects from texture Grill-Spector et al. , Neuron 1998

Are Faces Special? Having a dedicated representation

Face-related activation

Whole vs. Parts 1 2V 4 16 64 256 2h

Whole vs. Parts

Face blindness (Prosopagnosia)

Is face blindness associated with a disfunctional FFA NO!

But it may depend on the integrity of the face network (its connections with other areas)

Functional organization of the human ventral areas Hasson et al., 2003

Distributed & overlapping representation of faces & objects in ventral temporal cortex Haxby et al., 2001

Mapping the similarity between visual categories A division between animate and inanimate objects Kriegskorte et al., 2008

Mapping is similar in humans and monkeys
