TL;DR

Experiments show that bottom-up learning yields consistent generalization across diverse degradations, while top-down modulation substantially improves monocular depth estimation and video instance segmentation under severe interference, establishing a principled brain-inspired computational approach for advancing artificial visual intelligence and understanding human vision.

IRIS: A Visual Cortex-Inspired Framework for Analyzing Orientation Selectivity in Vision Transformers

Vision transformers (ViTs) have become the de facto standard for image encoding across many perception tasks. Despite their empirical success, it remains mechanistically unclear how they encode low-level features, given their lack of inductive biases: ViTs process information globally rather than relying on local struc...

Parametric neural control differentiates top neural network models of primate visual cortex

This work introduces axis-aligned feature accentuation, which converts each model’s fitted encoding axis into graded stimulus perturbations that are predicted to parametrically control neural firing within and beyond the natural-image range.
