BACKGROUND: While spontaneous robotic arm control using motor imagery has been reported, most previous successful cases have used invasive approaches with advantages in spatial resolution. However, still many researchers continue to investigate metho...
Eye movements are an essential part of human vision as they drive the fovea and, consequently, selective visual attention toward a region of interest in space. Free visual exploration is an inherently stochastic process depending on image statistics ...

Motivated by the recent progress of deep spiking neural networks (SNNs), we propose a structure-time parallel strategy based on layered structure and one-time computation over a time window to speed up the prominent spike-based deep learning algorith...

Despite significant recent progress, machine vision systems lag considerably behind their biological counterparts in performance, scalability, and robustness. A distinctive hallmark of the brain is its ability to automatically discover and model obje...
Recognition of human actions form videos has been an active area of research because it has applications in various domains. The results of work in this field are used in video surveillance, automatic video labeling and human-computer interaction, am...
Automatic image annotation not only has the efficiency of text-based image retrieval but also achieves the accuracy of content-based image retrieval. Users of annotated images can locate images they want to search by providing keywords. Currently mos...
Coarse-to-fine theories of vision propose that the coarse information carried by the low spatial frequencies (LSF) of visual input guides the integration of finer, high spatial frequency (HSF) detail. Whether and how LSF modulates HSF processing in n...

The development of suitable EEG-based emotion recognition systems has become a main target in the last decades for Brain Computer Interface applications (BCI). However, there are scarce algorithms and procedures for real-time classification of emotio...
The mammalian visual system consists of several anatomically distinct areas, layers, and cell types. To understand the role of these subpopulations in visual information processing, we analyzed neural signals recorded from excitatory neurons from var...
For robots equipped with an advanced computer vision-based system, object recognition has stringent real-time requirements. When the environment becomes complicated and keeps changing, existing works (e.g., template-matching strategy and machine-lear...
