Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the sub-project, “the spatial structure essential for object representation”, we found (1) object category selective domains in inferior temporal (IT) cortex by using dense electrode recordings, (2) singularity strings in primary visual cortex where orientation singularity forming hairpin trajectories in 3D cortical space. In the sub-project, “Temporal structure essential for object representation”, we found that different neural circuits mechanisms along the ventral visual pathway are used depending on the position of object images in the visual field. In the sub-project, “Sparse representation of objects in IT cortex”, we successfully identified visual features represented by view tuned face neurons in IT cortex that enables view- invariant face representation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

初期視覚野の特異点の折れ曲がり構造の発見は、1950年代に電気生理学的な研究から信じられてきた仮説を覆す結果になっており学問上のインパクトがある。
提示される物体像の視野上の位置によって異なる神経回路が使われていることを明らかにした研究は、従来のFeed forward network の考え方に修正が必要であることを示唆しており学問上のインパクトがある。
高次視覚野の図形特徴を明らかにした研究は、物体像処理のような多層ネットワークの構造を解析することにも使える手法であるため、AIが主流となりつつある社会において高い意義を持つ。
