Neural representation of visual objects: encoding and top-down activation

Associative codes in the visual cortex are created by neurons linking temporally associated stimuli, and both bottom-up signals from the retina and top-down signals from the prefrontal cortex can trigger their retrieval.

Perceptual learning in object recognition: object specificity and size invariance

Object-specific learning in perceptual learning transfers across image size changes, indicating that learning in object recognition is highly specific and insensitive to image size.

Learning to find a shape

Object identification improves dramatically after several days of training, with learning specific for object position, orientation, and configuration, potentially shifting cortical representation of complex features towards earlier stages in the visual pathway.
