Jim DiCarlo: Introduction to the Visual System, Part 2

Topics: Decoding of IT signals for object classification (Poggio, DiCarlo, Science 2009); 3D object models; detection experiments with objects of different pose placed on random background images; neural population state space; LaWS of RAD IT decoding algorithm predicts human behavior (Majaj, Hong, Solomon, DiCarlo, Cosyne 2012); optogenetic experiments (Afraz, Boyden, DiCarlo, SfN 2013, VSS 2014); models of encoding visual input at various stages along the ventral stream, involving filter, threshold & saturate, pool, and normalize operations
