The nature of the animacy organization in human ventral temporal cortex

S Thorat, D Proklova, MV Peelen - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.47142.001 The principles underlying the animacy organization of the ventral
temporal cortex (VTC) remain hotly debated, with recent evidence pointing to an animacy …

Category-orthogonal object features guide information processing in recurrent neural networks trained for object categorization

S Thorat, G Aldegheri, TC Kietzmann - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.07898, 2021 - arxiv.org
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been shown to perform better than feedforward
architectures in visual object categorization tasks, especially in challenging conditions such as …

Implementing a reverse dictionary, based on word definitions, using a node-graph architecture

S Thorat, V Choudhari - arXiv preprint arXiv:1606.00025, 2016 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we outline an approach to build graph-based reverse dictionaries using word
definitions. A reverse dictionary takes a phrase as an input and outputs a list of words …

[HTML][HTML] Body shape as a visual feature: Evidence from spatially-global attentional modulation in human visual cortex

S Thorat, MV Peelen - NeuroImage, 2022 - Elsevier
Feature-based attention modulates visual processing beyond the focus of spatial attention.
Previous work has reported such spatially-global effects for low-level features such as color …

Predicting cued and oddball visual search performance from fMRI, MEG, and DNN neural representational similarity

LC Yeh, S Thorat, MV Peelen - Journal of Neuroscience, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
Capacity limitations in visual tasks can be observed when the number of task-related objects
increases. An influential idea is that such capacity limitations are determined by competition …

[HTML][HTML] Statistical learning of distractor co-occurrences facilitates visual search

S Thorat, GL Quek, MV Peelen - Journal of Vision, 2022 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Visual search is facilitated by knowledge of the relationship between the target and the
distractors, including both where the target is likely to be among the distractors and how it differs …

Searching near and far: The attentional template incorporates viewing distance.

S Gayet, E Battistoni, S Thorat… - Journal of Experimental …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
According to theories of visual search, observers generate a visual representation of the
search target (the “attentional template”) that guides spatial attention toward target-like visual …

Diagnosing Catastrophe: Large parts of accuracy loss in continual learning can be accounted for by readout misalignment

D Anthes, S Thorat, P König, TC Kietzmann - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Unlike primates, training artificial neural networks on changing data distributions leads to a
rapid decrease in performance on old tasks. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as …

Balancing stability and plasticity in continual learning: the readout-decomposition of activation change (RDAC) framework

D Anthes, S Thorat, TC Kietzmann, P König - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Continual learning (CL) algorithms strive to acquire new knowledge while preserving prior
information. However, this stability-plasticity trade-off remains a central challenge. This paper …

Computational characterization of the role of an attention schema in controlling visuospatial attention

L Piefke, A Doerig, T Kietzmann, S Thorat - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
How does the brain control attention? The Attention Schema Theory suggests that the brain
constructs an internal model of attention for its control. However, it remains unclear under …
