A conspicuous ability of the brain is to seamlessly assimilate and process spatial and
temporal features of sensory stimuli. This ability is indispensable for the recognition of …

The mouse, as a model organism to study the brain, gives us unprecedented experimental
access to the mammalian cerebral cortex. By determining the cortex's cellular composition …

A white noise technique is presented for estimating the response properties of spiking visual
system neurons. The technique is simple, robust, efficient and well suited to simultaneous …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

Aims and Scope This book is both an introductory textbook and a research monograph on
modeling the statistical structure of natural images. In very simple terms,“natural images” are …

Electrophysiological studies indicate that neurons in the middle temporal (MT) area of the
primate brain are selective for the velocity of visual stimuli. This paper describes a …

A fundamental function of nerve cells is the transformation of incoming synaptic information
into specific patterns of action potential output. An important component of this …

We can claim that we know what the visual system does once we can predict neural
responses to arbitrary stimuli, including those seen in nature. In the early visual system …

We present a biologically-motivated system for the recognition of actions from video
sequences. The approach builds on recent work on object recognition based on hierarchical …

Response properties of sensory neurons are commonly described using receptive fields.
This description may be formalized in a model that operates with a small set of linear filters …
