Object category warps the topography of object space for behavior

2026-03-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Recent neuroimaging work suggests that the primate ventral visual stream is organized according to a 2D object space, defined by two axes, namely animate-inanimate and stubby-spiky. While this 2D geometry explains substantial neural variance, does it serve as a static, category-independent scaffold for behavior? We addressed this question using a large-scale visual foraging dataset in humans (...
