Quantitative results.

The upper and lower block display model performance (mean ± std.error) when reconstructing face images and natural images, respectively, in terms of six metrics of perceptual cosine similarity using the five MaxPool layer outputs of VGG16 for face recognition (face images) / object recognition (natural images) and latent cosine similarity between w-latents of stimuli and their reconstructions. The rows display decoding performance when using the recordings from all recording sites (i.e., V1, V4 and IT together) or the recordings within a specific brain area.
