Object Recognition in a
Flash - This Week in Science
Humans and other primates have the astonishing ability to recognize and
categorize objects within 200 milliseconds. By using a classifier-based decoding
approach, Hung et al. (p. 863) characterized the neuronal representation for
object recognition in monkey inferotemporal cortex (area IT) and quantitatively
examined the underlying neural code. Surprisingly, the activity of small numbers
of neurons over very short periods of time was sufficient to support rapid
and accurate recognition of object category and identity, which was at the
same time invariant to large changes in object position and scale.
