The discrete cosine transform (DCT) has been widely used in computer vision tasks due to its ability of high compression ratio and high-quality visual presentation. However, conventional DCT is usually affected by the size of transform region and res...
Much experimental evidence in neuroscience has suggested a division of higher visual processing into a ventral pathway specialized for object recognition and a dorsal pathway specialized for spatial recognition. Previous computational studies have su...
How do newborns learn to see? We propose that visual systems are space-time fitters, meaning visual development can be understood as a blind fitting process (akin to evolution) in which visual systems gradually adapt to the spatiotemporal data distri...

Current vision-inspired spiking neural networks (SNNs) face key challenges due to their model structures typically focusing on single mechanisms and neglecting the integration of multiple biological features. These limitations, coupled with limited s...
Pea protein is one potential environmentally sustainable way of recreating the functionality of eggs in coatings for baked goods. These coatings are commonly applied to enhance visual properties of baked goods that consumers desire, especially color ...
The ability to predict how efficiently a person finds an object in the environment is a crucial goal of attention research. Central to this issue are the similarity principles initially proposed by Duncan and Humphreys, which outline how the similari...

In the field of computer vision and image recognition, enabling the computer to discern target features while filtering out irrelevant ones poses a challenge. Drawing insights from studies in biological vision, we find that there is a local visual ac...
Learning to read places a strong challenge on the visual system. Years of expertise lead to a remarkable capacity to separate similar letters and encode their relative positions, thus distinguishing words such as FORM and FROM, invariantly over a lar...
Inferences made about objects via vision, such as rapid and accurate categorization, are core to primate cognition despite the algorithmic challenge posed by varying viewpoints and scenes. Until recently, the brain mechanisms that support these capab...
Cognitive research: principles and implications
