  • McLoughlin, Niall P.; Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1996-11)
    Our ability to see the world in depth is a major accomplishment of the brain. Previous models of how positionally disparate cues to the two eyes are binocularly matched limit possible matches by invoking uniqueness and ...
  • Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1995-05)
    This article develops the FACADE theory of 3-D vision and figure-ground separation to explain data concerning how 2-D pictures give rise to 3-D percepts of occluding and occluded objects. These percepts include pop-out of ...
  • Grossberg, Stephen; McLoughlin, Niall (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1995-07)
    Previous models of stereopsis have concentrated on the task of binocularly matching left and right eye primitives uniquely. A disparity smoothness constraint is often invoked to limit the number of possible matches. These ...
  • Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1992-07)
  • Francis, Gregory; Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1995-01)
    Using a neural network model of boundary segmentation and reset, Francis, Grossberg, and Mingolla (1994) linked the percept of persistence to the duration of a boundary segmentation after stimulus offset. In particular, ...
  • Huang, Tsung-Ren; Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 2009-08-12)
    How do humans use predictive contextual information to facilitate visual search? How are consistently paired scenic objects and positions learned and used to more efficiently guide search in familiar scenes? For example, ...
  • Francis, Gregory; Grossberg, Stephen; Mingolla, Ennio (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1993-06)
    An analysis of the reset of visual cortical circuits responsible for the binding or segmentation of visual features into coherent visual forms yields a model that explains properties of visual persistence. The reset ...
  • Francis, Gregory; Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1994-03)
    How does the visual system generate percepts of moving forms? How does this happen when the forms are emergent percepts, such as illusory contours or segregated textures, and the motion percept is apparent motion between ...
  • Browning, Andrew N.; Grossberg, Stephen; Mingolla, Ennio (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 2008-12)
    Visually guided navigation through a cluttered natural scene is a challenging problem that animals and humans accomplish with ease. The ViSTARS neural model proposes how primates use motion information to segment objects ...
  • Grossberg, Stephen; Rudd, Michael E. (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1991-02)
    This article describes further evidence for a new neural network theory of biological motion perception that is called a Motion Boundary Contour System. This theory clarifies why parallel streams Vl-> V2 and Vl-> MT exist ...
  • Grossbergy, Stephen; Rudd, Michael E. (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1991-04)
    This article describes further evidence for a new neural network theory of biological motion perception. The theory clarifies why parallel streams Vl --> V2, Vl --> MT, and Vl --> V2 --> MT exist for static form and motion ...
  • Lee, Shane; Sen, Kamal; Kopell, Nancy (Public Library of Science, 2009-12-11)
    Spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) has been observed experimentally in vitro and is a widely studied neural algorithm for synaptic modification. While the functional role of STDP has been investigated extensively, ...
  • Amis, Gregory P.; Carpenter, Gail A.; Ersoy, Bilgin; Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 2009-03)
    Do humans and animals learn exemplars or prototypes when they categorize objects and events in the world? How are different degrees of abstraction realized through learning by neurons in inferotemporal and prefrontal cortex? ...
  • Bullock, Daniel (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 2000-09)
  • Bullock, Daniel; Cisek, Paul; Grossberg, Stephen (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1995-06)
    A neural model of voluntary movement and proprioception functionally interprets and simulates cell types in movement related areas of primate cortex. The model circuit maintains accurate proprioception while controlling ...
  • Grossberg, Stephen; Gruenwald, Alexander (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1994-05)
    How does the brain group together different parts of an object into a coherent visual object representation? Different parts of an object may be processed by the brain at different rates and may thus become desynchronized. ...
  • Cisek, Paul; Grossberg, Stephen; Bullock, Daniel (Boston University Center for Adaptive Systems and Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems, 1996-11)
    A model of cortico-spinal trajectory generation for voluntary reaching movements is developed to functionally interpret a broad range of behavioral, physiological and anatomical data. The model simulates how arm movements ...
  • Jain, Shilpa H.; Massaro, Joseph M.; Hoffmann, Udo; Rosito, Guido A.; Vasan, Ramachandran S.; Raji, Annaswamy; O'Donnell, Christopher J.; Meigs, James B.; Fox, Caroline S. (American Diabetes Association, 2009-2-17)
    OBJECTIVE: To test the association of regional fat depots with circulating adiponectin and resistin concentrations and to assess the potential mediating effect of adipokines on associations between abdominal fat depots and ...
  • Itkis, Gene (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2003-02-11)
    We propose a new notion of cryptographic tamper evidence. A tamper-evident signature scheme provides an additional procedure Div which detects tampering: given two signatures, Div can determine whether one of them was ...
  • Bassem, Christine; Bestavros, Azer (Boston University Computer Science Department, 2009-05-28)
    Routing protocols for ad-hoc networks assume that the nodes forming the network are either under a single authority, or else that they would be altruistically forwarding data for other nodes with no expectation of a return. ...
