Understanding how biological visual systems recognize objects is one of the ultimate goals
in computational neuroscience. From the computational viewpoint of learning, different …

We introduce two appearance-based methods for clustering a set of images of 3D (three-
dimensional) objects, acquired under varying illumination conditions, into disjoint subsets …

Olfaction is often referred to as a multidimensional sense. It is multidimensional in that∼
1000 different receptor types, each tuned to particular odor aspects, together contribute to …

Cognitive Science provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the study of the
mind. The authors examine the mind from the perspective of different fields, including …

Shape is represented in the visual system by patterns of activity across populations of
neurons. We studied the population code for shape in area V4 of macaque monkeys, which …

The two contrasting theoretical approaches to visual perception, the constructivist and the
ecological, are briefly presented and illustrated through their analyses of space and size …

Knowledge representation is fundamental to the study of mind. All theories of psychological
processing are rooted in assumptions about how information is stored. These assumptions …

Computer vision systems have demonstrated considerable improvement in recognizing and
verifying faces in digital images. Still, recognizing faces appearing in unconstrained, natural …

Visual scene analysis in humans has been characterized by the presence of regions in
extrastriate cortex that are selectively responsive to scenes compared with objects or faces …

Publisher Summary Early attempts at qualitative spatial reasoning within the qualitative
reasoning (QR) community led to the poverty conjecture. The need for spatial …
