Abstract
Decoding information from neural responses in visual cortex demonstrates interpolation across repetitions or exemplars. Is it possible to decode novel categories from neural activity without any prior training on activity from those categories? We built zero-shot neural decoders by mapping responses from macaque inferior temporal cortex onto a deep neural network. The resulting models correctly interpreted responses to novel categories, even extrapolating from a single category.
