The functional specialization of visual cortex emerges from training parallel pathways with self-supervised predictive learning

NeurIPS 2021spotlight

The visual system of mammals is comprised of parallel, hierarchical specialized pathways. Different pathways are specialized in so far as they use representations that are more suitable for supporting specific downstream behaviours. In particular, the clearest example is the specialization of the ve…

Your head is there to move you around: Goal-driven models of the primate dorsal pathway

NeurIPS 2021spotlight

Neurons in the dorsal visual pathway of the mammalian brain are selective for motion stimuli, with the complexity of stimulus representations increasing along the hierarchy. This progression is similar to that of the ventral visual pathway, which is well characterized by artificial neural networks (…
