Discrimination of features in natural scenes by a dragonfly neuron.
Flying insects engage in spectacular high-speed pursuit of targets, requiring visual discrimination of moving objects against cluttered backgrounds. As a first step toward understanding the neural basis for this complex task, we used computational modeling of insect small target motion detector (STMD) neurons to predict responses to features within natural scenes and then compared this with res...
متن کاملPredictive Properties of Visual Adaptation
What humans perceive depends in part on what they have previously experienced. After repeated exposure to one stimulus, adaptation takes place in the form of a negative correlation between the current percept and the last displayed stimuli. Previous work has shown that this negative dependence can extend to a few minutes in the past, but the precise extent and nature of the dependence in vision...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms underlying target detection in a dragonfly centrifugal neuron.
Visual identification of targets is an important task for many animals searching for prey or conspecifics. Dragonflies utilize specialized optics in the dorsal acute zone, accompanied by higher-order visual neurons in the lobula complex, and descending neural pathways tuned to the motion of small targets. While recent studies describe the physiology of insect small target motion detector (STMD)...
متن کاملSpatial facilitation by a high-performance dragonfly target-detecting neuron
Many animals visualize and track small moving targets at long distances-be they prey, approaching predators or conspecifics. Insects are an excellent model system for investigating the neural mechanisms that have evolved for this challenging task. Specialized small target motion detector (STMD) neurons in the optic lobes of the insect brain respond strongly even when the target size is below th...
متن کاملNeuron Modulation: A Digital Modulation Based on Spiking Neuron Models
In this paper, a novel digital modulation technique based on spiking neuron models is proposed. Thanks to the extremely simple and low-power spiking neuron circuits, this modulation scheme allows a less complex receiver at the cost of a more complicated transmitter. Accordingly, it is a good candidate for downlink transmission. Since the transmitted signal is generated based on Shannon’s interp...
