About this paper

Yule Wang, Joseph Yu, Chengrui Li, Weihan Li, Anqi Wu

MIG-Vis probes macaque IT responses by grouping them and guiding diffusion edits after one group is perturbed. Rotation- and category-informed groups receive supervision, while two groups are unsupervised. Edits associate one group with pose changes and another with category changes. Without mutual-information guidance, category transitions were less consistent in examples; synthesized images do not establish neural causality or universal coding.
