Lowering the extracellular calcium concentration from 10 mmol/l to 1 nmol/l causes, besides reducing membrane potential (PMP) and peak amplitude (hmax) of the light response of the Limulus ventral nerve photoreceptor (see Stieve and Bruns [1]), a prolongation of the time course of the light response. The retarded time course (characterized by latent-period tlat, time-to-peak tmax, decrease time...

The brain mechanism of extracting visual features for recognizing various objects has consistently been a controversial issue in computational models of object recognition. To extract visual features, we introduce a new, biologically motivated model for facial categorization, which is an extension of the Hubel and Wiesel simple-to-complex cell hierarchy. To address the synaptic stability versus...

This paper presents a model for view independent recognition using features biologically inspired from dorsal and ventral stream of visual cortex. The presented model is based on the C3 features inspired from Ventral stream and Itti's visual attention model inspired from the dorsal stream of visual cortex. The C3 features, which are based on the higher layer of the HMAX of the ventral stream of...

Humans employ interacting bottom-up and top-down processes to significantly speed up search and recognition of particular targets. We describe a new model of attention guidance for efficient and scalable first-stage search and recognition with many objects (117,174 images of 1147 objects were tested, and 40 satellite images). Performance for recognition is on par or better than SIFT and HMAX, w...

The HMAX model has recently been proposed by Riesenhuber & Poggio [15] as a hierarchical model of positionand size-invariant object recognition in visual cortex. It has also turned out to model successfully a number of other properties of the ventral visual stream (the visual pathway thought to be crucial for object recognition in cortex), and particularly of (view-tuned) neurons in macaque inf...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare H-reflex characteristics during gait of hemiplegic stroke patients. [Subjects] Twenty-five patients and age-matched twenty-five volunteers in good health were studied. All the subjects could walk independently. [Methods] An MP150 (BIOPAC Systems, Inc., Goleta, CA, USA) was used to record the electromyography (EMG) data collected with Ag-Ag/Cl m...

Neuromorphic vision algorithms are biologically inspired models that follow the processing that takes place in the primate visual cortex. Despite their efficiency and robustness, the complexity of these algorithms results in reduced performance when executed on general purpose processors. This paper proposes an application-specific system for accelerating a neuromorphic vision system for object...

The classical model of visual processing in cortex is a hierarchy of increasingly sophisticated representations, extending in a natural way the model of simple to complex cells of Hubel and Wiesel. Somewhat surprisingly, little quantitative modeling has been done in the last 15 years to explore the biological feasibility of this class of models to explain higher level visual processing, such as...
