Question for my fellow vision researchers: anyone know of work where people looked at dynamic ensemble perception for lots of boxes on Zoom? Think "what's the average emotion of these people on a group call?"

#neuroskyence people (maybe vision people in particular): how do you think information is "read out" from the visual system? Do downstream areas like PFC get to query anything from V1 to IT? Or just later areas? How plastic are these readouts? Etc. IMO this is always under constrained in modeling.
