Abstract Information theory quantifies how much information a neural response carries about
the stimulus. This can be compared to the information transferred in particular models of the …

This is a review of the research during the past 25years on cortical processing of color
signals. At the beginning of the period the modular view of cortical processing …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

In this paper, we present a novel scale-and rotation-invariant interest point detector and
descriptor, coined SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features). It approximates or even …

Theoretical neuroscience provides a quantitative basis for describing what nervous systems
do, determining how they function, and uncovering the general principles by which they …

Neurons in the brain communicate by short electrical pulses, the so-called action potentials
or spikes. How can we understand the process of spike generation? How can we …

Aims and Scope This book is both an introductory textbook and a research monograph on
modeling the statistical structure of natural images. In very simple terms,“natural images” are …

We present a biologically-motivated system for the recognition of actions from video
sequences. The approach builds on recent work on object recognition based on hierarchical …

Natural images contain characteristic statistical regularities that set them apart from purely
random images. Understanding what these regularities are can enable natural images to be …

The stimulus–response function of many visual and auditory neurons has been described by
a spatial-temporal receptive field (STRF), a linear model that for mathematical reasons has …
