Kavli Affiliate: George A. Alvarez | Authors: Jacob S. Prince, Binxu Wang, Thomas Fel, Akshay V. Jagadeesh, Parisa A. Vaziri, George A. Alvarez, Margaret S. Livingstone and Talia Konkle | Summary: Leading deep neural network encoding models predict visual cortical responses with nearly indistinguishable accuracy, raising the strong inference that these models have converged on […]
Kavli Affiliate: George A. Alvarez | Authors: Srijani Saha, Talia Konkle and George A. Alvarez | Summary: The human visual system transforms patterns of light into rich perceptual experiences, where what we see is a construction that goes beyond simple measurement. Lightness illusions—where identical parts of an image can appear dramatically different depending on context—provide […]

Kavli Affiliate: George A. Alvarez | Authors: Colin Conwell, Emalie McMahon, Akshay Jagadeesh, Kasper Vinken, Saloni Sharma, Jacob S. Prince, George Alvarez, Talia Konkle, Margaret Livignstone and Leyla Isik | Summary: Recent progress in multimodal AI and ‘language-aligned’ visual representation learning has rekindled debates about the role of language in shaping the human visual system. […]
Kavli Affiliate: George A. Alvarez | Authors: Fenil R. Doshi, Talia Konkle and George A. Alvarez | Summary: Summary: Deep neural network models provide a powerful experimental platform for exploring core mechanisms underlying human visual perception, such as perceptual grouping and contour integration — the process of linking local edge elements to arrive at a […]
Kavli Affiliate: George A. Alvarez | Authors: Nathan Wu, Baohua Zhou, Margarida Agrochao and Damon A Clark | Summary: Our intuition suggests that when a movie is played in reverse, our perception of motion in the reversed movie will be perfectly inverted compared to the original. This intuition is also reflected in many classical theoretical […]
