    Putting perception into action with inverse optimal control for continuous psychophysics

    Dominik Straub, Constantin A Rothkopf
    A new method for analyzing continuous psychophysics experiments estimates not only perceptual uncertainty from tracking tasks but also action variability, intrinsic costs, and subjective internal models.

    Emergent color categorization in a neural network trained for object recognition

    Jelmer P de Vries, Arash Akbarinia ... Karl R Gegenfurtner
    Human-like color categories emerge in a Deep Neural Network trained only on object recognition.

    Unsupervised changes in core object recognition behavior are predicted by neural plasticity in inferior temporal cortex

    Xiaoxuan Jia, Ha Hong, James J DiCarlo
    Temporal continuity-induced plasticity in individual neurons of inferior temporal cortex builds neural representations that underlie robust core object recognition behavior.

    Variance predicts salience in central sensory processing

    Ann M Hermundstad, John J Briguglio ... Gašper Tkačik
    Psychophysical measures of human sensitivity to visual patterns reveal that the brain preferentially processes those features of stimuli that are more variable in the natural world.

    S-cone photoreceptors in the primate retina are functionally distinct from L and M cones

    Jacob Baudin, Juan M Angueyra ... Fred Rieke
    Heterogeneity in perceptual sensitivity of human cone-mediated vision across wavelength originates in the cone photoreceptors, where S cones exhibit distinct functional properties in comparison to L and M cones.

    Contrast sensitivity reveals an oculomotor strategy for temporally encoding space

    Antonino Casile, Jonathan D Victor, Michele Rucci
    Fixational eye movements transform the spatial scene into temporal modulations on the retina, which, together with the known sensitivities of retinal neurons, provide a comprehensive account of human spatial sensitivity.
    1. Neuroscience

    Rat sensitivity to multipoint statistics is predicted by efficient coding of natural scenes

    Riccardo Caramellino, Eugenio Piasini ... Davide Zoccolan
    Visual sensitivity to correlation patterns in rats matches that previously measured in humans, as well as predictions from efficient coding theory based on the statistics of natural images.

    Sub-cone visual resolution by active, adaptive sampling in the human foveola

    Jenny L Witten, Veronika Lukyanova, Wolf M Harmening
    High-resolution foveal imaging and micro-psychophysics reveal that the human oculomotor system finely adjusts drift motion of the eye in an acuity task to enhance retinal sampling, achieving sub-cell resolution.
    1. Neuroscience

    Pruriception and neuronal coding in nociceptor subtypes in human and nonhuman primates

    Amanda Klein, Hans Jürgen Solinski ... Matthias Ringkamp
    MRGPRD and MRGRPX1 are co-expressed in primate DRG neurons, but β-alanine and BAM8-22, preferentially activate CMH-subclasses, and co-activating different cutaneous nociceptors by pruritogens does not change itch sensation to pain.
    1. Neuroscience

    Shape-invariant encoding of dynamic primate facial expressions in human perception

    Nick Taubert, Michael Stettler ... Martin A Giese
    Contrasting with neural network theories, a study of the cross-species perception of dynamic faces with highly realistic human and monkey avatars reveals independent perceptual encoding of facial shape and expression.
