The segregation of image parts into foreground and background is an important aspect of
the neural computation of 3D scene perception. To achieve such segregation, the brain …

Baingio Pinna's article “New Gestalt principles of perceptual organization: An extension from
grouping to shape and meaning” won the 2009 Metzger Award of the Society for Gestalt …

How do spatially disjoint and ambiguous local motion signals in multiple directions generate
coherent and unambiguous representations of object motion? Various motion percepts …

We propose a novel method for constructing illusory foreground and background shapes
from convex corners. We first introduce a new class of visual cues called corner bases …

We present the case for a role of biologically plausible neural network modeling in bridging
the gap between physiology and behavior. We argue that spiking-level networks can allow …

This article unifies neural modeling results that illustrate several basic design principles and
mechanisms that are used by advanced brains to develop cortical maps with multiple …

While recent studies have shed light on the mechanisms that generate gamma (> 40 Hz)
oscillations, the functional role of these oscillations is still debated. Here we suggest that the …

Abstract Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN) is a new field that lies at the
intersection of computational neuroscience, machine learning, and neural network theory …

This chapter surveys some of the main design principles, mechanisms, circuits, and
architectures that have been discovered during a half century of systematic research aimed …

An illusory contour is an image that is perceived as a contour in the absence of typical
contour characteristics, such as a change in luminance or chromaticity across the stimulus …
