Fast, Selective Image Decoding

Caption

These are recordings from a single electrode, showing speed and strength of responses to different visual stimuli (red, animals; green, chairs; blue, human faces; black, fruit; yellow, vehicles). The inset brain image shows the location of the electrode (in the left temporal pole). This brain area shows a rapid, powerful, selective response to human faces.
