Research Abstract

We have developed an electrode array system in which we simultaneously record multiple columnar activities from inferior temporal cortex of awake monkeys. With this array, we found that object representation with combinations of feature columns changes in time: when an object images was presented to monkey, number of feature columns used in representation of the image decreases in time. In addition, we found that columns representing features of a certain object category are clustered together and forming a larger functional structure.
