Preferred term

reverse correlation  

Definition

  • Reverse correlation is a technique that allows a researcher to infer the collection of “features” used by an information processing system (e.g., human vision). Probably the best way to understand what reverse correlation is and how it works is through an example: Let's suppose you want to know what facial features a person uses to identify a human face.
