A neural model of contour integration in the primary visual cortex

Z Li - Neural computation, 1998 - direct.mit.edu
Experimental observations suggest that contour integration may take place in V1. However,
there has yet to be a model of contour integration that uses only known V1 elements …

Contour integration and cortical processing

RF Hess, A Hayes, DJ Field - Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2003 - Elsevier
Our understanding of visual processing in general, and contour integration in particular, has
undergone great change over the last 10 years. There is now an accumulation of …

Simulation of neural contour mechanisms: representing anomalous contours

F Heitger, R Von Der Heydt, E Peterhans… - Image and Vision …, 1998 - Elsevier
We present a computational model of a contour mechanism first identified by
neurophysiological methods in monkey visual cortex. The scope is the definition of …

Integration of contours: new insights

R Hess, D Field - Trends in cognitive sciences, 1999 - cell.com
Psychophysical, neurophysiological and anatomical research of the last few years has
converged on a new explanation of how the components of a contour become integrated …

Interactions between feedback and lateral connections in the primary visual cortex

H Liang, X Gong, M Chen, Y Yan… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Perceptual grouping of line segments into object contours has been thought to be mediated,
in part, by long-range horizontal connectivity intrinsic to the primary visual cortex (V1), with a …

A computational model of neural contour processing: Figure-ground segregation and illusory contours

F Heitger, R von der Heydt… - Proceedings of PerAc'94 …, 1994 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a computational model of contour processing that was suggested by
neurophysiological recordings from the monkey visual cortex. The model employs …

Visual segmentation by contextual influences via intra-cortical interactions in the primary visual cortex

Z Li - Network: computation in neural systems, 1999 - Taylor & Francis
Stimuli outside classical receptive fields have been shown to exert a significant influence
over the activities of neurons in the primary visual cortex. We propose that contextual …

A neural model of how horizontal and interlaminar connections of visual cortex develop into adult circuits that carry out perceptual grouping and learning

S Grossberg, JR Williamson - Cerebral cortex, 2001 - academic.oup.com
A neural model suggests how horizontal and interlaminar connections in visual cortical
areas V1 and V2 develop within a laminar cortical architecture and give rise to adult visual …

Geometrical computations explain projection patterns of long-range horizontal connections in visual cortex

O Ben-Shahar, S Zucker - Neural computation, 2004 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Neurons in primary visual cortex respond selectively to oriented stimuli such as edges and
lines. The long-range horizontal connections between them are thought to facilitate contour …

Mechanisms of contour perception in monkey visual cortex. I. Lines of pattern discontinuity

R von der Heydt, E Peterhans - Journal of Neuroscience, 1989 - Soc Neuroscience
We have studied the mechanism of contour perception by recording from neurons in the
visual cortex of alert rhesus monkeys. In order to assess the relationship between neural …
