Dynamic Algorithmic Networks of Visual Categorization
In cognitive neuroscience, a core challenge is translating brain activity into interpretable information processing. Although advanced tools can measure brain activity with high spatial and temporal precision across scales, interpreting this activity as computational processes remains elusive. I propose a framework that uses generative models of visual categories to interpret the information represented, communicated, and computed by brain networks, shedding light on the computations underlying perception. This approach offers meaningful insights into information processing from dynamic brain activity and Deep Neural Network models, advancing the fields of brain imaging and computational neuroscience.
