In a review published in Nature, researchers explore the concept of hierarchical organization in the brain’s visual system. They cite several studies that have investigated the hierarchical structure of visual processing, including research on deep learning models and neural networks. The authors also discuss the role of predictive coding in the brain and its potential implications for understanding perception. They highlight the importance of thalamocortical loops and the involvement of the superior colliculus in visual processing. Overall, the review provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of hierarchical organization in the visual system, shedding light on the complex processes involved in visual perception.
