Very cool work and very in line with how we've been thinking about category selectivity in topographic neural net models -- one scale of an inherently interactive topographic network.
Their results provide important constraints for the next generation of active, multimodal neural net models.
How is high-level visual cortex organized?
In a new preprint with
@martinhebart.bsky.social &
@kathadobs.bsky.social, we show that category-selective areas encode a rich, multidimensional feature space 🌈

Jun 18, 2025 13:52Thanks so much, Nick! I just read your latest preprint the other day and already noted it for the next version. Super relevant work :)
thanks Lenny! I think our 2022 PNAS paper is pretty relevant too - see Figures 5, S8-10, and S21 for sub-domain organization. we don't always get the same sub-domain clusters (except scenes: indoor vs. outdoor), but that is a cool pointer for future models!
