View-tuned and view-invariant face encoding in IT cortex is explained by selected natural image fragments

Abstract Humans recognize individual faces regardless of variation in the facial view. The view-tuned face neurons in the inferior temporal (IT) cortex are regarded as the neural substrate for view-invariant face recognition. This study approximated visual features encoded by these neurons as combin...
