In this article I would present evidence to show that timing of the flow of neural signals within the ventral visual stream is a crucial part of the neural code for categorization of faces. We recorded the activity of 554 inferotemporal neurons from two macaque monkeys performing a fixation task. More than 1000 object images including human and non-primate animal faces were presented up to 10 t...

Configuration management tools have become well and widely accepted by the software industry. Software Configuration Management (SCM) systems hold minute information about the entire evolution of complex software systems and thus represent a good source for process accounting and auditing. However, it is still difficult to use the entire spectrum of information such tools maintain. Currently, s...

This paper presents a new platform for VHDL visualization to support undergraduates in learning this hardware description language. The presented platform, denoted as VISUAL-VHDL, enables students to enter their own VHDL code and control an animation process, which shows step-by-step how the different language constructs are treated to synthesize a complete digital circuit. Furthermore, VISUAL-...

One current explanation of the view independent representation of space by the place-cells of the hippocampus is that they arise out of the summation of view dependent Gaussians. This proposal assumes that visual representations show bounded invariance. Here we investigate whether a recently proposed visual encoding scheme called the temporal population code can provide such representations. Ou...

We present vsInk, a plug-in that affords digital ink annotation in the Visual Studio code editor. Annotations can be added in the same window as the editor and automatically reflow when the underlying code changes. The plug-in uses recognisers built using machine learning to improve the accuracy of the annotation’s anchor. The user evaluation shows that the core functionality is sound. .

This paper presents a new visual tag system, C-Band, which is based on a ring with a color pattern code. C-Band has several flexibilities that cannot be achieved by the existing visual tag systems: the visual tag may be any convex shape and contain any figure, and it provides a sizescalable code. With these features, C-Band has the potential for widespread use as a camera-based user interface. ...

This article presents a theory that integrates space-based and object-based approaches to visual attention. The theory puts together M.P. van Oeffelen and P.G. Vos's (1982, 1983) COntour DEtector (CODE) theory of perceptual grouping by proximity with C. Bundesen's (1990) theory of visual attention (TVA). CODE provides input to TVA, accounting for spatially based between-object selection, and TV...

It is proposed a new code for contours of black-white plane images. This code was applied for optical character recognition of printed and handwritten characters. One can apply it to recognition of any visual

The development and maintenance of today’s software systems is an increasingly effort-consuming and error-prone task. A major cause of the effort and errors is the lack of human-readable and formal documentation of software design. In practice, software design is often informally documented, or not documented at all. Therefore, (a) the design cannot be properly communicated between software eng...
