The MAOS team focuses on the recognition and the neural representation of objects (common, famous and unique) and object categories. In particular, we use biologically pertinent stimuli, more specifically photographs of natural scenes. By combining experimental projects in healthy humans and patients (psychophysic, EEG, fMRI, intracranial recordings) with theoretical approaches and models, the aims of the team include : elucidating the key mechanisms underlying the amazing efficiency of biological visual systems, analyzing how learning and expertise can shape visual representations and the neural substrates ensuring their memorization, and describing the effects of healthy and pathological aging.
