COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE

A deeper look at vision and memory

An Author Correction to this article was published on 12 January 2022

This article has been updated

Allen et al. introduce the Natural Scenes Dataset — high-resolution fMRI data from eight individuals scanned as they collectively viewed more than 70,000 natural images and performed a continuous recognition task. This resource promises to yield insights into visual perception and memory and to help bridge cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
