Brain stimulation is a powerful tool for understanding cortical function and holds the promise of therapeutic interventions to treat neuropsychiatric disorders such as impaired vision. Prototypical approaches to visual prosthetics apply patterns of electric microstimulation to the early visual corte…
Despite the tremendous success of deep learning in computer vision, models still fall behind humans in generalizing to new input distributions. Existing benchmarks do not investigate the specific failure points of models by analyzing performance under many controlled conditions. Our study systematic…
Humans are able to segment images effortlessly without supervision using perceptual grouping. Here, we propose a counter-intuitive computational approach to solving unsupervised perceptual grouping and segmentation: that they arise *because* of neural noise, rather than in spite of it. We (1) mathem…
