Visual object recognition is computationally difficult because changes in an object's position,
distance, pose, or setting may cause it to produce a different retinal image on each …

Learning and adaptation in the domain of orientation processing are among the most
studied topics in the literature. However, little effort has been devoted to explaining the …

Simulations of artificial vision were performed to assess “minimum requirements for useful
artificial vision”. Retinal prostheses will be implanted at a fixed (and probably eccentric) …

The contention is examined that the oblique effect, ie, the well-known performance deficit in
detecting orientation difference in oblique lines as compared to vertical and horizontal ones …

Similarity is a core concept in theories of object recognition, categorization, and reasoning [1–
2]. It is often conceptualized as a geometric distance in a multidimensional stimulus space [3 …

The authors tested the spatial generalization of shape and color discriminations in 2
monkeys, in which 3 visual field quadrants were affected, respectively, by lesions in area V4 …

The primate cortical visual pathways offer an attractive animal model for relating the function
of individual nerve cells to the behaviour of the organism. The anatomical structures and …

The responses of neocortical neurons can be persistently modified by alterations in sensory
experience. Such modifications reflect changes in synaptic transmission that shape cortical …
