Effects of task optimization on pareidolia representations in CNNs. by Pranjul Gupta (20623949)

“…Conversely, in CNNs lacking object categorization training (Panels B, C), this similarity was weak, only reaching significance at early layers, and decreased across layers. The Dual-task CNN showed a unique representational pattern where pareidolia faces were represented closer to matched objects than to real faces (‘Pareidolia  ~  Objects’; orange line), while still being more similar to real faces than objects (‘Pareidolia  ~  Faces’; blue line) from mid-layers (layer 5) onward, matching pareidolia representations in MEG (c.f. …”
