Abstract
Unlike Athena, the new ventral stream theory foreshadowed in these pages did not spring fully-formed from the head of Zeus. We: primarily Tomaso Poggio, Fabio Anselmi, Lorenzo Rosasco, Jim Mutch, Andrea Tacchetti, and myself, developed it—and continue to refine it—within a context in which the questions considered in this dissertation loom large. Each of its four main chapters can be read independently, but a common thread runs through them. In other manuscripts—some already released, and some currently in preparation—we spin the same thread into the cloth of the new theory. Most of the chapters of this dissertation propose (or analyze) specific models designed to elucidate particular aspects of the ventral stream and the object recognition algorithm it implements. Some of them (chapters two and three) were mostly completed before we knew they were parts of a larger story. Whereas, the work of chapters four and five was undertaken more consciously as part of the larger theory’s development. A version of each chapter has appeared, or soon will appear, as a standalone article. Chapter one, the introduction, has two parts. It begins with a somewhat idiosyncratic
