A neural network theory of three-dimensional (3-D) vision, called FACADE theory, is
described. The theory proposes a solution of the classical figure-ground problem for …

How the brain generates visual percepts is a central problem in neuroscience. We propose
a detailed neural model of how lateral geniculate nuclei and the interblob cortical stream …

Progress in deep learning has spawned great successes in many engineering applications.
As a prime example, convolutional neural networks, a type of feedforward neural networks …

Illusory contours (perceived edges that exist in the absence of local stimulus borders)
demonstrate that perception is an active process, creating features not present in the light …

In the past twenty-five years there has been an explosion in research on the development of
perception. This research has produced discoveries at multiple levels: ecological analyses …

Maintaining the strong pedagogy, abundant student-friendly examples, and engaging
conversational style of the previous editions, the sixth edition of this introductory textbook …

This work presents some variational models for the cortical algo-rithms processing Kanizsa
modal subjective contours. These models are based on the geometric concepts of fibration …

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 …

A neural model is developed of how motion integration and segmentation processes, both
within and across apertures, compute global motion percepts. Figure–ground properties …

Illusory contours (IC) have attracted a considerable interest in recent years to derive models
of how sensory information is processed and integrated within the visual system. In addition …
