🌟New preprint with Lynn Sörensen and James DiCarlo When animals learn new object discrimination tasks, how much does their IT cortex change? In their untrained state, animals can still see objects but can’t attach labels—so we don’t expect the ventral stream to fully

In the past weeks we have been around NETI at UT Austin, VSS Meeting 2025, and the Centre for Vision Research Centre for Integrative and Applied Neuroscience conf., to discuss early findings on modeling object motion in the macaque visual system by deep neural networks. Details to appear soon! Kohitij Kar
