Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The subcortical pathway for face processing conveys information rapidly but roughly to the amygdala. The fast processing arises from the small number of processing stages. However, it is unclear whether the shallowness of processing stages renders the transmitted information coarse. To address this question, we developed a convolutional neural network model with a shallow architecture (SNN), receptive fields similar to those in the first stage of the subcortical pathway, and a greater degree of spatial pooling. The SNN successfully learned to discriminate facial expressions. Units in the final stage represented spatial frequency in the retina-based reference frame in a similar way to the representation in the subcortical pathway. We further compared the SNN model and three modified models in which the three features of the SNN were replaced one by one with the corresponding features in the cortical pathway. The comparison revealed that the coarse representation results not only from the processing shallowness but from the receptive field organization and the degree of spatial pooling.
