AADNet: Exploring EEG Spatiotemporal Information for Fast and Accurate Orientation and Timbre Detection of Auditory Attention Based on a Cue-Masked Paradigm.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Auditory attention decoding from electroencephalogram (EEG) could infer to which source the user is attending in noisy environments. Decoding algorithms and experimental paradigm designs are crucial for the development of technology in practical appl...

Recurrent models of orientation selectivity enable robust early-vision processing in mixed-signal neuromorphic hardware.

Nature communications
Mixed signal analog/digital neuromorphic circuits represent an ideal medium for reproducing bio-physically realistic dynamics of biological neural systems in real-time. However, similar to their biological counterparts, these circuits have limited re...

Deep learning applied to EEG source-data reveals both ventral and dorsal visual stream involvement in holistic processing of social stimuli.

Scientific reports
Perception of social stimuli (faces and bodies) relies on "holistic" (i.e., global) mechanisms, as supported by picture-plane inversion: perceiving inverted faces/bodies is harder than perceiving their upright counterpart. Albeit neuroimaging evidenc...

Towards Robust Robot Control in Cartesian Space Using an Infrastructureless Head- and Eye-Gaze Interface.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a lightweight, infrastructureless head-worn interface for robust and real-time robot control in Cartesian space using head- and eye-gaze. The interface comes at a total weight of just 162 g. It combines a state-of-the-art visual s...

Stereo Vision Based Sensory Substitution for the Visually Impaired.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The development of computer vision based systems dedicated to help visually impaired people to perceive the environment, to orientate and navigate has been the main research subject of many works in the recent years. A significant ensemble of resourc...

Discrimination of Motion Direction in a Robot Using a Phenomenological Model of Synaptic Plasticity.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Recognizing and tracking the direction of moving stimuli is crucial to the control of much animal behaviour. In this study, we examine whether a bio-inspired model of synaptic plasticity implemented in a robotic agent may allow the discrimination of ...

What is a cognitive map? Unravelling its mystery using robots.

Cognitive processing
Despite years of research into cognitive mapping, the process remains controversial and little understood. A computational theory of cognitive mapping is needed, but developing it is difficult due to the lack of a clear interpretation of the empirica...

Anticipatory detection of turning in humans for intuitive control of robotic mobility assistance.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many wearable lower-limb robots for walking assistance have been developed in recent years. However, it remains unclear how they can be commanded in an intuitive and efficient way by their user. In particular, providing robotic assistance to neurolog...

Edge detection based on Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model simulation.

Cognitive processing
In this paper, we propose a spiking neural network model for edge detection in images. The proposed model is biologically inspired by the mechanisms employed by natural vision systems, more specifically by the biologically fulfilled function of simpl...

Extending the Stabilized Supralinear Network model for binocular image processing.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The visual cortex is both extensive and intricate. Computational models are needed to clarify the relationships between its local mechanisms and high-level functions. The Stabilized Supralinear Network (SSN) model was recently shown to account for ma...
