Competitive STDP-based spike pattern learning

T Masquelier, R Guyonneau, SJ Thorpe - Neural computation, 2009 - direct.mit.edu
Recently it has been shown that a repeating arbitrary spatiotemporal spike pattern hidden in
equally dense distracter spike trains can be robustly detected and learned by a single …

Object class recognition and localization using sparse features with limited receptive fields

J Mutch, DG Lowe - International Journal of Computer Vision, 2008 - Springer
We investigate the role of sparsity and localized features in a biologically-inspired model of
visual object classification. As in the model of Serre, Wolf, and Poggio, we first apply Gabor …

Sparsity-regularized HMAX for visual recognition

X Hu, J Zhang, J Li, B Zhang - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
About ten years ago, HMAX was proposed as a simple and biologically feasible model for
object recognition, based on how the visual cortex processes information. However, the …

Learning to recognize objects using waves of spikes and spike timing-dependent plasticity

T Masquelier, SJ Thorpe - The 2010 International Joint …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper focuses on feedforward spiking neuron models of the visual cortex. Essentially,
we show that a combination of a temporal coding scheme where the most strongly activated …

Robust handwritten character recognition with features inspired by visual ventral stream

A Borji, M Hamidi, F Mahmoudi - Neural processing letters, 2008 - Springer
This paper focuses on the applicability of the features inspired by the visual ventral stream
for handwritten character recognition. A set of scale and translation invariant C2 features are …

The dopamine circuit as a reward-taxis navigation system

O Karin, U Alon - PLoS computational biology, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Studying the brain circuits that control behavior is challenging, since in addition to their
structural complexity there are continuous feedback interactions between actions and …

[HTML][HTML] Sparsey™: event recognition via deep hierarchical sparse distributed codes

GJ Rinkus - Frontiers in computational neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
The visual cortex's hierarchical, multi-level organization is captured in many biologically
inspired computational vision models, the general idea being that progressively larger scale …

A hierarchical sparse coding model predicts acoustic feature encoding in both auditory midbrain and cortex

Q Zhang, X Hu, B Hong, B Zhang - PLOS Computational Biology, 2019 - journals.plos.org
The auditory pathway consists of multiple stages, from the cochlear nucleus to the auditory
cortex. Neurons acting at different stages have different functions and exhibit different …

The role of feedback in a hierarchical model of object perception

S Dura-Bernal, T Wennekers, SL Denham - From Brains to Systems: Brain …, 2011 - Springer
We present a model which stems from a well-established model of object recognition,
HMAX, and show how this feedforward system can include feedback, using a recently …

Toward a more biologically plausible model of object recognition

M Kouh - 2007 - dspace.mit.edu
Rapidly and reliably recognizing an object (is that a cat or a tiger?) is obviously an important
skill for survival. However, it is a difficult computational problem, because the same object …
