Together, these results validate a new method to test complementary roles of distinct flow pathways: direct visual pathways rapidly generate detailed visual information, while hierarchical pathways build up compressed representations (e.g., shapes rather than lines). 14/n

Why do our visual systems have “shortcut” connections (V1-V4)? What do they add beyond the classic hierarchical (V1-V2-V3-V4) pathway? The lab’s latest study takes activity flow modeling to the next level to answer these questions biorxiv.org/content/10.648… 1/n

@PessoaBrain EQI is still being developed, but it’d be fun to get some rough estimates now. I can share an LLM prompt to make it easier, if you’re up for trying it

@PessoaBrain If your methods are reliable and valid, you’ll get high EQI scores! EQI-contribution (EQI-C) scores tend to be higher for novel areas. Also, evidence that challenges the existing literature carries equally weight (as shown in the interactive figure in the post)
