颞叶皮层在灵长类不变性知觉和原型表征中的重要作用

如果要走出人工智能在感知觉领域的困境．就必须认识到人类特有的受生物现实约束的认知特点。综合分析各种证据表明，知觉和客体识别的本质不是分析千差万别的局部特征，而是提取环境中的大范围不变量（早期为拓扑特性检测），形成并存贮一定原型表征；颞叶皮层在灵长类这种不变性知觉和原型表征中具有重要作用。

THE FUNDAMENTAL ROLE OF TEMPORAL CORTEX IN PRIMATES' INVARIANTPERCEPTION AND PROTOTYPE REPRESENTATION

If we want to transcend the predicamentof artificial intelligence in the field of sensoryand perception, it is necessary to know humanbeings' special cognitive characteristics constrained by the biological reality. Abundantevidence showed that the essence of perceptionand object recognition was not analysing thegreatly different local features but extractingthe global field invariance in the environment(topological feature detection in the earlylevel) to form and store some prototype representation. The temporal cortex of primatesplayed an important role in the invariant per- ception and prototype representation.
