Object representations in the human brain reflect the co-occurrence statistics of vision and language

M. F. Bonner and R. A. Epstein

This groundbreaking study by Michael F. Bonner and Russell A. Epstein uncovers how our brain encodes object co-occurrence statistics derived from visual environments and language. Through advanced machine learning and fMRI techniques, they reveal that our cortical responses to objects are intricately linked to the contexts in which those objects typically appear, shedding new light on our visual experiences.
