Deep in the occipitotemporal cortex lie two functional regions, the visual word form area
(VWFA) and the number form area (NFA), which are thought to play a special role in letter …

Sustainable research on computational models of neuronal networks requires published
models to be understandable, reproducible, and extendable. Missing details or ambiguities …

Lifelong learning is fundamental in autonomous robotics for the acquisition and fine-tuning
of knowledge through experience. However, conventional deep neural models for action …

In this article, we review functional organization in sensory cortical regions—how the cortex
represents the world. We consider four interrelated aspects of cortical organization:(1) the …

Stimulus orientation in the primary visual cortex of primates and carnivores is mapped as iso-
orientation domains radiating from pinwheel centres, where orientation preferences of …

Using the iCub humanoid robot with an artificial pressure-sensitive skin, we investigate how
representations of the whole skin surface resembling those found in primate primary …

Images are processed in the primary visual cortex by neurons that encode different stimulus
orientations and spatial phases. In primates and carnivores, neighboring cortical neurons …

Neurons in the primary visual cortex are selective to orientation with various degrees of
selectivity to the spatial phase, from high selectivity in simple cells to low selectivity in …

Computational modeling is a useful method for generating hypotheses about the
contributions of impaired neurobiological mechanisms, and their interactions, to …

Our brains must maintain a representation of the world over a period of time much longer
than the typical lifetime of the biological components producing that representation. For …
