The Receptive Fields of Inferior Temporal Cortex Neurons in Natural

Inferior temporal cortex (IT) neurons of macaques have responses that provide information about objects or faces (Gross et al., 1972; Perrett et al., 1982; Rolls, 1992, 2000; Booth and Rolls, 1998; Rolls and Deco, 2002). The responses of these neurons are often relatively invariant with respect to t ...
