In computer vision, edge and object contour detection is essential for higher-level vision
tasks, such as shape matching, visual salience, image segmentation, and object recognition …

Biological visual systems have evolved to process natural scenes. A full understanding of
visual cortical functions requires a comprehensive characterization of how neuronal …

Deciphering the brain's structure-function relationship is key to understanding the neuronal
mechanisms underlying perception and cognition. The cortical column, a vertical …

To understand a visual scene, the brain segregates figures from background by assigning
borders to foreground objects. Neurons in primate visual cortex encode which object owns a …

Edge and contour detection plays critical roles in computer vision and image processing,
with extensive applications in advanced tasks including object recognition, shape matching …

An important aspect of visual object recognition is the ability to perceive object shape. Two
basic components of complex shapes are straight and curved contours. A large body of …

Spatial frequency (SF) is an important attribute in the visual scene and is a defining feature
of visual processing channels. However, there remain many unsolved questions about how …

Theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) has become a standard non-invasive
technique to induce offline changes in cortical excitability in human volunteers. Yet, TBS …

In vivo calcium imaging with genetically encoded indicators has recently been applied to
macaque brains to monitor neural activities from a large population of cells simultaneously …

The orientation map is one of the most well-studied functional maps of the visual cortex.
However, results from the literature are of different qualities. Clear boundaries among …
