Object-centric Neuronal Representations Across Biological and Artificial Vision Systems Workshop
April 1, 2025 | COSYNE 2025 | Mont Tremblant, Canada
Object-centric representations are fundamental to primate visual processing, but the universality of these representations across animal species and artificial vision systems remains unclear. This workshop convenes researchers investigating object-centric visual processing across diverse biological and artificial systems to uncover potential universal principles. Presentations will encompass studies on neural mechanisms underlying object recognition in arthropods, rodents, non-human primates, and humans, as well as recent developments in computer vision models. By facilitating cross-species and cross-domain comparisons, we aim to elucidate universal principles and species-specific variations in object-centric visual representations.

Workshop Goals
This workshop brings together experts studying object-centric visual processing across diverse biological and artificial systems. Our focus is on:
- Identifying universal principles and species-specific variations in object recognition by comparing neural mechanisms across arthropods, rodents, birds, primates, humans, and computer vision models
- Creating dialogue between traditionally separate research communities studying different species and those developing artificial systems
- Examining convergent and divergent mechanisms of object recognition across different neural architectures and evolutionary histories
The workshop serves as a platform for cross-species and cross-domain comparisons, revealing fundamental principles that transcend species boundaries and extend to artificial systems, while fostering new collaborative opportunities between researchers from diverse backgrounds.
