A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

I recently had an extended conversation with John Martin, founder and CEO of BeyondRecognition, LLC (“BR”), a Houston-based information governance technology provider that has recently signed ...

Hundreds of times during a baseball game, the home plate umpire must instantaneously categorize a fast-moving pitch as a ball or a strike. Scientists have now pinpointed an area in the brain where ...

Understanding information processing in the visual system requires an understanding of the interplay among the system's computational goals and representations, and their physical implementation in ...

The human brain creates visual categories as a fundamental aspect of cognition. Infancy is a crucial period of life for such representations to be built up, but these are as yet unknown. A recent ...

Take a moment and look at a picture near you. What did you see? How long did it take you to understand what was in the image, meaning how long did it take you to realize the green blob was a tree? Or ...

Two relatively independent areas of visual cognition research examine important aspects of visual object understanding: Object Recognition and Perceptual Categorization. These areas have focused on ...

This article investigates how people process information from aerial photographs to categorize locations. Three cognitive experiments were conducted with human subjects viewing a series of aerial ...

The differences between neural network binary classification and multinomial classification are surprisingly tricky. McCaffrey looks at two approaches to implement neural network binary classification ...

The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...
