[PDF][PDF] Matching categorical object representations in inferior temporal cortex of man and monkey

…, M Mur, DA Ruff, R Kiani, J Bodurka, H Esteky… - Neuron, 2008 - cell.com
Inferior temporal (IT) object representations have been intensively studied in monkeys and
humans, but representations of the same particular objects have never been compared …

Object category structure in response patterns of neuronal population in monkey inferior temporal cortex

R Kiani, H Esteky, K Mirpour… - Journal of …, 2007 - journals.physiology.org
Our mental representation of object categories is hierarchically organized, and our rapid
and seemingly effortless categorization ability is crucial for our daily behavior. Here, we …

Microstimulation of inferotemporal cortex influences face categorization

SR Afraz, R Kiani, H Esteky - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
The inferior temporal cortex (IT) of primates is thought to be the final visual area in the
ventral stream of cortical areas responsible for object recognition 1 , 2 . Consistent with this …

Differences in onset latency of macaque inferotemporal neural responses to primate and non-primate faces

R Kiani, H Esteky, K Tanaka - Journal of neurophysiology, 2005 - journals.physiology.org
… To test the significance of dependence on the stimulus group, we evaluated the null hypothesis
H 0 :w 2 = 0 (F test) (Draper and Smith 1998). The value of w 2 in this model also gives …

Dimensionality of object representations in monkey inferotemporal cortex

SR Lehky, R Kiani, H Esteky, K Tanaka - Neural computation, 2014 - direct.mit.edu
We have calculated the intrinsic dimensionality of visual object representations in anterior
inferotemporal (AIT) cortex, based on responses of a large sample of cells stimulated with …

Lost in music: neural signature of pleasure and its role in modulating attentional resources

S Nemati, H Akrami, S Salehi, H Esteky, S Moghimi - Brain Research, 2019 - Elsevier
We investigated the neural correlates of pleasure induced by listening to highly pleasant and
neutral musical excerpts using electroencephalography (EEG). Power spectrum analysis of …

Temporal dynamics of visual category representation in the macaque inferior temporal cortex

…, BN Araabi, H Esteky - Journal of …, 2016 - journals.physiology.org
Object categories are recognized at multiple levels of hierarchical abstractions.
Psychophysical studies have shown a more rapid perceptual access to the mid-level category …

Orientation-selective adaptation during motion-induced blindness

…, F Moradi, A Zandvakili, H Esteky - …, 2004 - journals.sagepub.com
When a global moving pattern is superimposed on high-contrast stationary or slowly moving
stimuli, the latter occasionally disappear for periods of several seconds (motion-induced …

[HTML][HTML] A study of N250 event-related brain potential during face and non-face detection tasks

S Nasr, H Esteky - Journal of vision, 2009 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Face perception relies on activation of a complex set of different neural modules. In this study,
we assessed the stimulus selectivity of the occipitotemporal N250 ERP component and …

Statistics of visual responses in primate inferotemporal cortex to object stimuli

SR Lehky, R Kiani, H Esteky… - Journal of …, 2011 - journals.physiology.org
We have characterized selectivity and sparseness in anterior inferotemporal cortex, using a
large data set. Responses were collected from 674 monkey inferotemporal cells, each …
