Cross-Species RSA Reveals Conserved Early Visual Alignment but Divergent Higher-Area Rankings Across Human fMRI and Macaque Electrophysiology
CORRECTION (August 2026): an evaluation-mode defect in the shared feature-extraction pipeline affected the predictive-coding and STDP conditions. It applies to both sides of every comparison here: the human values are reprinted from the companion study and the macaque values use the same checkpoints. In a single-seed re-evaluation with repaired checkpoints, macaque STDP at V1 moves from 0.305 to 0.266 and PC from 0.210 to 0.178, level with the untrained baseline, so finding (2) holds for STDP but not for PC; the V4 and IT orderings also change, while V2 is unchanged. Findings (1), (3) and (4) are unaffected, and the other conditions change by at most 0.0034. The five-seed analysis, Kendal...
