Here is a review of several empirical examples of information processing that occur in the primate cerebral cortex. These include visual processing, object identification and perception, information encoding, and memory. Also, there is a discussion of the higher scale neural organization, mainly theoretical, which suggests hypotheses on how the brain internally represents objects. Altogether they support the general attributes of the mechanisms of brain computation, such as efficiency, resiliency, data compression, and a modularization of neural function and their pathways. Moreover, the specific neural encoding schemes are expectedly stochastic, abstract and not easily decoded by theoretical or empirical approaches.
以下是对灵长类动物大脑皮层中发生的几个信息处理实证例子的综述。这些包括视觉处理、物体识别与感知、信息编码和记忆。此外，还讨论了更高层次的神经组织，主要是理论性的，它提出了关于大脑如何在内部表征物体的假设。总体而言，它们支持大脑计算机制的一般属性，如效率、弹性、数据压缩以及神经功能及其通路的模块化。此外，特定的神经编码方案预计是随机的、抽象的，并且不容易通过理论或实证方法进行解码。
