Nearly 40 years ago, in the pages of this journal, Hubel and Wiesel provided the first
description of receptive fields in the primary visual cortex of higher mammals. They defined …

The visual system is tasked with extracting stimulus content (eg the identity of an object) from
the spatiotemporal light pattern falling on the retina. However, visual information can be …

Spiking neural networks (SNN) have gained popularity in embedded applications such as
robotics and computer vision. The main advantages of SNN are the temporal plasticity, ease …

A receptive field constitutes a region in the visual field where a visual cell or a visual
operator responds to visual stimuli. This paper presents a theory for what types of receptive …

Climatic change is widely acknowledged to have played a role in the dispersal of modern
humans out of Africa, but the timing is contentious. Genetic evidence links dispersal to …

A key feature of advanced motion processing in the primate dorsal stream is the existence of
pattern cells—specialized cortical neurons that integrate local motion signals into pattern …

Currently, many tone mapping operators (TMOs) have been provided to compress high
dynamic range images to low dynamic range (LDR) images for visualizing them on the …

Cortical computation depends on interactions between excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
The contributions of distinct neuron types to sensory processing and network …

Being able to predict the degree of visual discomfort that is felt when viewing stereoscopic
3D (S3D) images is an important goal toward ameliorating causative factors, such as …

Neural activity in early visual cortex is modulated by luminance contrast. Cortical depth (ie,
laminar) contrast responses have been studied in monkey early visual cortex, but not in …
