Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The size and complexity of receptive fields increases as one progresses through the visual hierarchy.

    “The size and complexity of receptive fields increases as one progresses through the visual hierarchy: in the retina/LGN receptive fields respond preferentially to spots of light, in V1 they are tuned for orientation (preferring lines or bars) (12), and in area V2 they respond preferentially to corners or junctions (13), whereas in V4 they prefer more complex feature arrangements (14).”

  • In V4, receptive fields prefer more complex feature arrangements.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
