Population receptive fields in the human ventral stream and their role in face perception
More information Time 12:30Location Gerhard M.J. Schmidt Lecture HallLecturer Prof. Kalanit Grill-Spector
Dept of Psychology and Stanford Neurosciences Institute Stanford University, CAOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The cortical system for processing faces is a model system f...» The cortical system for processing faces is a model system for studying the functional neuroanatomy of ventral temporal cortex and its role in perception for two reasons. First, the functional organization of the cortical face system is well understood. Second, activations in ventral face-selective regions are causally related to face perception. Here, I will describe recent results from our research elucidating the computations performed by population receptive field (pRFs) in the cortical system for face perception. In contrast to predictions of classical theories, recent data from my lab reveals that computations in face-selective regions in human ventral temporal cortex can be characterized with a computational pRF model, which predicts the location and spatial extent of the visual field that is processed by the neural population in a voxel. Our research characterizes pRF properties of ventral face-selective regions revealing three main findings. First, pRFs illustrate a hierarchical organization within the face system, whereby pRFs become larger and more foveal across the ventral hierarchy. Second, attention to faces modulates pRFs in face-selective regions, consequently enhancing the representation of faces in the peripheral visual field where visual acuity is the lowest. Third, our research shows that pRF properties in face-selective regions are behaviorally relevant. We find that face perception abilities are correlated with pRF properties: participants with larger pRFs perform better in face recognition than participants with smaller pRFs. These data suggest that computations performed by pRFs in face-selective regions may form a neural basis for holistic processing necessary for face recognition. Overall, these data highlight the importance of elucidating computational properties of neural populations in ventral temporal cortex as they offer a new mechanistic understanding of high-level visual processes such as face perception. -
