Making use of very detailed neurophysiological, anatomical, and behavioral data to build biological-realistic computational models of animal behavior is often a difficult task. Until recently, many software packages have ...

The mammalian neocortex is organized into layers which include circuits that form functional columns in cortical maps. A major unsolved problem concerns how bottom-up, top-down, and horizontal interactions are organized ...

How does the laminar organization of cortical circuitry in areas VI and V2 give rise to 3D percepts of stratification, transparency, and neon color spreading in response to 2D pictures and 3D scenes? Psychophysical experiments ...

How do the layered circuits of prefrontal and motor cortex carry out working memory storage, sequence learning, and voluntary sequential item selection and performance? A neural model called LIST PARSE is presented to ...

How do visual form and motion processes cooperate to compute object motion when each process separately is insufficient? A 3D FORMOTION model specifies how 3D boundary representations, which separate figures from backgrounds ...

A laminar cortical model of stereopsis and later stages of three-dimensional surface perception is proposed and simulated. The model describes boundary and surface interactions between LGN, V1, V2, and V4, and details how ...

This application illustrates how the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network can be used to monitor environmental changes. A benchmark problem seeks to classify regions of a Landsat image into six soil and crop classes based on images ...

Partial occlusions are commonplace in a variety of real world computer vision applications: surveillance, intelligent environments, assistive robotics, autonomous navigation, etc. While occlusion handling methods have been ...

This paper proposes a generic method for action recognition in uncontrolled videos. The idea is to use images collected from the Web to learn representations of actions and use this knowledge to automatically annotate ...
