Two monkeys were shown stimuli that varied across view and identity, i.e. objects from different viewpoints and different objects. Even when introduced to new stimulus sets of varying similarity (organized into a three dimensional feature space), the monkeys reliably performed well up to $60{\circ}$ changes in viewpoint. To obtain this capacity of object recognition across viewpoints, the monkeys were trained by discriminating between objects at each particular view. Training effects were observed for both new stimulus sets, and sets familiarized over the course of 4 weeks. Further, the monkeys did perform better on the familiar set, especially for translations $\geq 90^{\circ}$, which required explicit pairings in training. Wang et al. conjecture that IT neurons are tuned to view-invariant aspects of objects, yielding the observed behavioral capacity.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
