Image Recognition: Human v Monkey

In Wired: Looking into the networks necessary for key kinds of sensory intelligence.

" ... For about a decade now, brain scientists like Charles Cadieu have run image recognition tests pitting computers against monkeys. The test measures how well the monkeys can quickly process images on a screen, and then compares it to the performance of a machine. It’s not exactly a test of image recognition, says Cadieu, a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, but of something more elemental; what Cadieu calls the “neural substrate that makes recognition possible.” ... ."
