FIGURE 6.

Rank-ordered responses to visual stimuli in monkey inferotemporal cortex. Firing-rate responses (spikes/s) to faces and hands of human and monkey recorded from different activity spots are plotted against stimulus rank. Here, activity spots refer to specific localized anatomical regions within inferotemporal cortex. The pictures below each figure represent the top 12 of preferred object stimuli, arranged in descending order from left to right. The upper row indicates the six most preferred images and the lower row indicates the 7th to the 12th best images [reproduced from Sato et al. (2009)].
