Publications

I lead the Programme "Object vision and population-code representation". Please contact me if you are interested in joining my lab as a postdoc or graduate student.

Research findings

Insights on object vision

Object representations match closely between man and monkey

The primate-IT object representation is inherently categorical

Face identity may be represented in anterior IT, rather than in FFA

Ventral object representations can arise from the dorsal motion-flowfield representation

Methodological developments

Information, not activation

Searchlight mapping

Representational similarity analysis

Voxel + venules = multipronged sensor?

Circular analysis

Topologically correct cortex segmentation

Scientific publication system

I'm exploring ideas for the future of scientific publishing here:
