Representational constraints underlying similarity between task-optimized neural systems

no code implementations13 Dec 2023 Tahereh Toosi

In visual systems optimized for tasks similar to object recognition, we propose that representation similarities arise from the constraints imposed by the development of abstractions in the representation across the processing stages.

Brain-like Flexible Visual Inference by Harnessing Feedback-Feedforward Alignment

1 code implementation31 Oct 2023 Tahereh Toosi, Elias B. Issa

Our study presents FFA as a promising proof-of-concept for the mechanisms underlying how feedback connections in the visual cortex support flexible visual functions.

Brain-like representational straightening of natural movies in robust feedforward neural networks

1 code implementation26 Aug 2023 Tahereh Toosi, Elias B. Issa

Prior work established straightening in neural representations of the primate primary visual cortex (V1) and perceptual straightening in human behavior as a hallmark of biological vision in contrast to artificial feedforward neural networks which did not demonstrate this phenomenon as they were not explicitly optimized to produce temporally predictable movie representations.
