Early Emergence of Solid Shape Coding in Natural and Deep Network Vision.

Current biology : CB
Area V4 is the first object-specific processing stage in the ventral visual pathway, just as area MT is the first motion-specific processing stage in the dorsal pathway. For almost 50 years, coding of object shape in V4 has been studied and conceived...

Comparing biological and artificial vision systems: Network measures of functional connectivity.

Neuroscience letters
Advances in Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) provide new opportunities for computational neuroscience to pose novel questions regarding the function of biological visual systems. Some attempts have been made to utilize advances in machine le...

Infrared and visible image fusion method of dual NSCT and PCNN.

PloS one
To solve the problem that the details of fusion images are not retained well and the information of feature targets is incomplete, we proposed a new fusion method of infrared (IR) and visible (VI) image-IR and VI image fusion method of dual non-subsa...

Motion opponency examined throughout visual cortex with multivariate pattern analysis of fMRI data.

Human brain mapping
This study explores how the human brain solves the challenge of flicker noise in motion processing. Despite providing no useful directional motion information, flicker is common in the visual environment and exhibits omnidirectional motion energy whi...

A recurrent circuit implements normalization, simulating the dynamics of V1 activity.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
The normalization model has been applied to explain neural activity in diverse neural systems including primary visual cortex (V1). The model's defining characteristic is that the response of each neuron is divided by a factor that includes a weighte...

Cortical-like dynamics in recurrent circuits optimized for sampling-based probabilistic inference.

Nature neuroscience
Sensory cortices display a suite of ubiquitous dynamical features, such as ongoing noise variability, transient overshoots and oscillations, that have so far escaped a common, principled theoretical account. We developed a unifying model for these ph...

A Comparative Analysis of Visual Encoding Models Based on Classification and Segmentation Task-Driven CNNs.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Nowadays, visual encoding models use convolution neural networks (CNNs) with outstanding performance in computer vision to simulate the process of human information processing. However, the prediction performances of encoding models will have differe...

Improved object recognition using neural networks trained to mimic the brain's statistical properties.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The current state-of-the-art object recognition algorithms, deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), are inspired by the architecture of the mammalian visual system, and are capable of human-level performance on many tasks. As they are trained for...

Depth in convolutional neural networks solves scene segmentation.

PLoS computational biology
Feed-forward deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) are, under specific conditions, matching and even surpassing human performance in object recognition in natural scenes. This performance suggests that the analysis of a loose collection of image...

A Modeling Study of the Emergence of Eye Position Gain Fields Modulating the Responses of Visual Neurons in the Brain.

Frontiers in neural circuits
The responses of many cortical neurons to visual stimuli are modulated by the position of the eye. This form of gain modulation by eye position does not change the retinotopic selectivity of the responses, but only changes the amplitude of the respon...
