    Perceiving animacy in ‘identical’ images

    Tal Boger, Chaz Firestone
    Visual anagrams, images whose interpretations change with orientation, isolate visual processing of animacy itself, beyond its lower-level correlates.

    Adaptive behavior is guided by integrated representations of controlled and non-controlled information

    Bingfang Huang, Harrison Ritz, Jiefeng Jiang
    Controlled and non-controlled information are simultaneously encoded within an integrated representation in partially overlapping neural subspaces, and the strengths of both representations jointly predict performance.

    Top-down feedback in deep neural networks leads to functional differences during audiovisual integration

    Mashbayar Tugsbayar, Mingze Li ... Blake Richards
    Gain-modulating top-down feedback introduces behavioral differences between otherwise identical neural networks, particularly in a network with connectivity based on the human brain, which displays a flexible visual bias similar to that seen in humans.
