A temporal hierarchical feedforward model explains both the time and the accuracy of object recognition

Abstract Brain can recognize different objects as ones it has previously experienced. The recognition accuracy and its processing time depend on different stimulus properties such as the viewing conditions, the noise levels, etc. Recognition accuracy can be explained well by different models.
