A visual pathway in the brain may do more than recognize objects
Source: MIT News
A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, MIT researchers found the ventral visual stream, may not be exclusively optimized for object recognition.
When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral visual stream, is responsible for recognizing obj… [7479 chars]
