Visual object recognition

• Michael J. Tarr, Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences, Brown University, Providence, RI

Dr. Michael J. Tarr accepted the invitation on 28 June 2007 (self-imposed deadline: 28 September 2007).

I am hoping Irv Biederman will serve as a co-author.

This article will briefly cover: the process of visual object recognition from neuroscientific and behavioral perspectives. It will place particular emphasis on the functional organization of the ventral-temporal pathway of the primate cortex, as well as relevant computational analyses.
