How Deep is the Feature Analysis underlying Rapid Visual Categorization?

Eberhardt, Sven, Cader, Jonah, Serre, Thomas

Understand

Rapid categorization paradigms have a long history in experimental psychology: Characterized by short presentation times and speedy behavioral responses, these tasks highlight the efficiency with which our visual system processes natural object categories.

Previous studies have shown that feed-forward hierarchical models of the visual cortex provide a good fit to human visual decisions.
At the same time, recent work in computer vision has demonstrated significant gains in object recognition accuracy with increasingly deep hierarchical architectures.
But it is unclear how well these models account for human visual decisions and what they may reveal about the underlying brain processes.
