Computational models of the human visual cortex: on individual differences and ecologically valid input statistics
Perception relies on cortical processes in response to sensory stimuli. Visual input entering the eyes ascends a cascade of processing steps from the retina to high-level regions of the cortex. Vision science investigates ... -
Recurrent convolutional neural networks as models of biological object recognition
Deep feedforward neural network models of vision dominate in both computational neuroscience and engineering. However, the primate visual system contains abundant recurrent connections. In this thesis, we investigate the ... -
Investigation of the multiple-demand network at multiple spatial scales
(2020-06-01)This dissertation investigates the frontoparietal ‘multiple-demand’ (MD) network that is involved in the processing of diverse cognitive demands. This network is active when the task at hand is made more demanding, in a ... -
The role of the default mode network in contextual control
(2020-07-17)While extensive theories outline the importance of meaningful context in guiding goal directed behaviour, little evidence has emerged about the underlying cognitive mechanisms involved. This thesis aims to addresses this ...
