The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $215,458 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to The Leland Stanford Junior University. The award, which runs from October 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026, will support research to study the representation of visual information in the primate brain using an innovative method called "inception loops". Specifically, the investigators will record neural responses from macaque visual area V4 and use deep learning models to characterize the tuning of these neurons to geometric scene features and how they are modulated by saccades and salient features during natural viewing. This research aims to yield a more comprehensive and interpretable understanding of visual processing, with potential implications for developing more human-like artificial intelligence capabilities. The project does not involve any sub-awards.
