Abstract: Highlights•Recognized objects can be accurately decoded from intracranial electrode responses.•Semantic attribute encoding models generalize to new objects.•Timing of semantic decoding is consistent with prior electrophysiological studies.•Animacy and canonical size are represented in ventral temporal ECoG signals.
