TSOM: Small object motion detection neural network inspired by avian visual circuit.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Detecting small moving objects in complex backgrounds from an overhead perspective is a highly challenging task for machine vision systems. As an inspiration from nature, the avian visual system is capable of processing motion information in various ...

Transfer learning may explain pigeons' ability to detect cancer in histopathology.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Pigeons' unexpected competence in learning to categorize unseen histopathological images has remained an unexplained discovery for almost a decade (Levenson2015e0141357). Could it be that knowledge transferred from their bird's-eye views of the earth...

Resolving the associative learning paradox by category learning in pigeons.

Current biology : CB
A wealth of evidence indicates that humans can engage two types of mechanisms to solve category-learning tasks: declarative mechanisms, which involve forming and testing verbalizable decision rules, and associative mechanisms, which involve gradually...

Supervised machine learning aided behavior classification in pigeons.

Behavior research methods
Manual behavioral observations have been applied in both environment and laboratory experiments in order to analyze and quantify animal movement and behavior. Although these observations contributed tremendously to ecological and neuroscientific disc...

Should we replace radiologists with deep learning? Pigeons, error and trust in medical AI.

Bioethics
The sudden rise in the ability of machine learning methodology, such as deep neural networks, to identify and predict with great accuracy instances of malignant cell growth from radiological images has led prominent developers of this technology, suc...

Folding in and out: passive morphing in flapping wings.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We present a new mechanism for passive wing morphing of flapping wings inspired by bat and bird wing morphology. The mechanism consists of an unactuated hand wing connected to the arm wing with a wrist joint. Flapping motion generates centrifugal acc...

Autoshaped choice in artificial neural networks: implications for behavioral economics and neuroeconomics.

Behavioural processes
An existing neural network model of conditioning was used to simulate autoshaped choice. In this phenomenon, pigeons first receive an autoshaping procedure with two keylight stimuli X and Y separately paired with food in a forward-delay manner, inter...

[Simulation design and experimental study of magnetic stimulation coil for robot pigeon].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
To explore the feasibility of applying magnetic stimulation technology to the movement control of animal robots, the influence of coil radius, number of turns and other factors on the intensity, depth and focus of magnetic stimulation was simulated a...

[Design and preliminary application of outdoor flying pigeon-robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Control at beyond-visual ranges is of great significance to animal-robots with wide range motion capability. For pigeon-robots, such control can be done by the way of onboard preprogram, but not constitute a closed-loop yet. This study designed a new...

Soft biohybrid morphing wings with feathers underactuated by wrist and finger motion.

Science robotics
Since the Wright Flyer, engineers have strived to develop flying machines with morphing wings that can control flight as deftly as birds. Birds morph their wing planform parameters simultaneously-including sweep, span, and area-in a way that has prov...
