In many species, neurons responding to visual motion at higher processing stages are often specifically tuned to particular flow fields; however, the neural circuitry that leads to this selectivity is ...

Figure 1: Two kinds of experiments in which a highly multivariate quantity (yellow box) is to be related to a categorical quantity (purple box). These are only the simplest prototypes. The ...

About 1.25 million neurons in the retina -- each of which views the world only through a small jagged window called a receptive field -- collectively form the seamless picture we rely on to navigate ...

Deep learning plays important role in artificial intelligence (AI), which yet faces challenges in object representation. In particular, with object sizes decreasing, recognition and detection become ...
