Cross-Species RSA Reveals Conserved Early Visual Alignment but Divergent Higher-Area Rankings Across Human fMRI and Macaque Electrophysiology

arXiv:2605.22401v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: 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
