Evidence that information about natural feature arrangement can be read out from the visual cortex. (A) Natural image selectivity index across all analyzed cortical regions, for unweighted readout (purple), image-general readout, where weights were fit on one image class and evaluated on held-out image class (magenta), and image-specific readout, where separate weights were fit for each image class and evaluated on held-out presentations (blue). Gray dashed line shows natural image selectivity of human perception. Error bars indicate 95% CIs across image classes. (B) Representational geometry for one representative area (LO) for one example image class, comparing between (Left) unweighted, (Left Center) image-general, and (Right Center) image-specific readouts. (Right) The representational geometry, averaged across all image classes.
