Model mimicry limits conclusions about neural tuning and can mistakenly imply unlikely priors

Abstract excerpt

In a recent issue of Nature Communications, Harrison, Bays, and Rideaux 1 use electroencephalography (EEG) to infer population tuning properties from human visual cortex, and deliver a major update to existing knowledge about the most elemental building block of visual perception – orientation tuning. Using EEG together with simulations in an approach they refer to as “generative forward modeling”, the authors ad...
