Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) transmit visual information from the eye to the brain. In mice, several RGC types show nonuniform spatial distributions, potentially mediating specific visual functions. However, the full extent of RGC specialization rem...
Natural selection has produced diverse vision systems, from simple patches of photoreceptors to complex camera eyes, representing just one set of evolutionary outcomes. Computational evolution offers a way to systematically test hypotheses, isolate i...
This commentary integrates Coombs and Trestman's trait-linkage hypothesis with Teufel and Fletcher's neurocomputational predictive framework to propose that high-resolution visual systems operate as intrinsic bottom-up predictive mechanisms. By mergi...
Do visual neural networks learn brain-aligned representations because they share architectural constraints and task objectives with biological vision or because they share universal features of natural image processing? We characterized the universal...
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...

Vision-language navigation (VLN) is a challenging task that requires agents to capture the correlation between different modalities from redundant information according to instructions, and then make sequential decisions on visual scenes and text ins...
Subjective feelings are thought to arise from conceptual and bodily states. We examine whether the valence of feelings may also be decoded directly from objective ecological statistics of the visual environment. We train a visual valence (VV) machine...
Deep neural networks have been remarkably successful as models of the primate visual system. One crucial problem is that they fail to account for the strong shape-dependence of primate vision. Whereas humans base their judgements of category membersh...

In robotics, particularly for autonomous navigation and human-robot collaboration, the significance of unconventional imaging techniques and efficient data processing capabilities is paramount. The unstructured environments encountered by robots, cou...
