During development, cortical activity is organized into distributed modular patterns that are a
precursor of the mature columnar functional architecture. Theoretically, such structured …

Building an efficient and reliable collision perception visual system is a challenging problem
for future robots and autonomous vehicles. The biological visual neural networks, which …

Shaping the collision selectivity in vision-based artificial collision-detecting systems is still an
open challenge. This paper presents a novel neuron model of a locust looming detector, ie …

Knowledge integration based on the relationship between structure and function of the
neural substrate is one of the main targets of neuroinformatics and data-driven …

For the brain to recognize local orientations within images, neurons must spontaneously
break the translation and rotation symmetry of their response functions—an archetypal …

Simple Summary During the deep phases of sleep we do not normally wake up by a
thunder, but we nevertheless notice it when awake. The exact same sound gets to our ears …

We present a model of the primary visual cortex V1, guided by anatomical experiments.
Unlike most machine learning systems our goal is not to maximize accuracy but to realize a …

Behavioral responses to auditory stimuli decrease from wakefulness to deep phases of
sleep. This reduction in behavioral responses can be attributed to the diminished efficiency …

The mechanisms underlying how activity in the visual pathway gives rise through neural
plasticity to many features observed experimentally in early stages of visual processing was …

The neural circuits that are established during development have a profound impact on the
functioning of the adult brain. Over the course of development, the cortical neurons must …
