If perception corresponds to hypothesis testing (Gregory, 1980 ); then visual searches might
be construed as experiments that generate sensory data. In this work, we explore the idea …

Computational neuroscience has produced a diversity of software for simulations of networks
of spiking neurons, with both negative and positive consequences. On the one hand, each …

Both neurophysiological and psychophysical experiments have pointed out the crucial role
of recurrent and feedback connections to process context-dependent information in the early …

Short-latency ocular following are reflexive, tracking eye movements that are observed in
human and non-human primates in response to a sudden and brief translation of the image. …

Horizontal connections in the primary visual cortex of carnivores, ungulates and primates
organize on a near-regular lattice. Given the similar length scale for the regularity found in …

Orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelets became very popular image processing tools but
exhibit major drawbacks, namely a poor resolution in orientation and the lack of translation …

The quality of the representation of an object’s motion is limited by the noise in the sensory
input as well as by an intrinsic ambiguity due to the spatial limitation of the visual motion …

Rank Order Coding is an alternative to conventional rate coding schemes that uses the
order in which a neuron's inputs fire to encode information. In a visual system framework, we …

This paper introduces a model of oculomotor control during the smooth pursuit of occluded
visual targets. This model is based upon active inference, in which subjects try to minimise …

Neurons in the neocortex receive a large number of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs.
Excitation and inhibition dynamically balance each other, with inhibition lagging excitation …
