Article Synopsis
- Neurons in the inferotemporal (IT) cortex are crucial for object perception, but linking their activity to subjective perception has been challenging.
- Researchers conducted experiments on male macaque monkeys to detect optical impulses in the IT cortex, leading to the creation of "perceptograms" which represent complex hallucinatory experiences induced by neural stimulation.
- The study revealed that these hallucinations are influenced by factors like visual input, stimulation location, and intensity, paving the way for improved understanding of visual perception, visual prosthetics, and mental disorders.
