Perceptual misalignment of texture representations in convolutional neural networks
Ludovica de Paolis, Fabio Anselmi, Alessio Ansuini +1
Mathematical modeling of visual textures traces back to Julesz's intuition that texture perception in humans is based on local correlations between image features. An influential a…

Zigzag Persistence of Neural Responses to Time-Varying Stimuli
Yuri Gardinazzi, Alessio Ansuini, Eugenio Piasini +2
We use topological data analysis to study neural population activity in the Sensorium 2023 dataset, which records responses from thousands of mouse visual cortex neurons to diverse…
