🧠 New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well? We find a striking dissociation: it’s not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics. 📊 Study: n=57, 624k trials, 5 models doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Extremely proud to see our (@carlienroelofzen.bsky.social & myself) work published! Here we explore how the contrast sensitivity function can be measured, using fMRI! We are able to see effects of eccentricity and polar angle on CS doi.org/10.1162/imag... #VisionScience

Modeling neural contrast sensitivity functions in human visual cortex

Abstract. The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) characterizes visual function, and is widely used in research on visual perception and ophthalmological disorders. The CSF describes the lowest contra...
