Neural encoding of relative position.

Neural encoding of relative position.

Late ventral visual areas generally consist of cells having a significant degree of translation invariance. Such a "bag of features" representation is useful for the recognition of individual objects; however, it seems unable to explain our ability to parse a scene into multiple objects and to understand their spatial relationships. We review several schemes (e.g., global features and serial at...

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance Neural Encoding of Relative Position

Position-dependent encoding

In typical video compression algorithms, the DCT is applied to the video, and the resulting DCT coefficients are quantized and encoded for transmission or storage. Most of the DCT coefficients are quantized to zero. Efficient encoding of the DCT coefficients is usually achieved by encoding the location and the amplitude of the non-zero coefficients. Since in typical MC-DCT compression algorithm...

Letter-position encoding and dyslexia

This article focuses on applying the SERIOL model of orthographic processing to dyslexia. The model is extended to include a phonological route and reading acquisition. We propose that the temporal alignment of serial orthographic and phonological representations is a key aspect of learning to read, driving the formation of a phonemic encoding. The phonemic encoding and the serial representatio...

Local population synchrony and the encoding of eye position in the primate neural integrator.

Encoding horizontal eye position in the oculomotor system occurs through temporal integration of eye velocity inputs to produce tonic outputs. The nucleus prepositus is commonly believed to be the "neural integrator" that accomplishes this function through the activity of its ensemble of predominantly burst-tonic neurons. Single-unit characterizations and labeling studies of these neurons have ...
