✦ Synopsis

A mathematical model of the primary visual cortex is presented. Basically, the model comprises two features. Firstly, in analogy with the principle of the computerized tomography (CT), it assumes that simple cells in each hypercolumn are not merely detecting line segments in images as features, but rather that they are as a whole representing the local image with a certain representation. Secondly, it assumes that each hypercolumn is performing spatial frequency analyses of local images using that representation, and that the resultant spectra are represented by complex cells. The model is analyzed using numerical simulations and its advantages are discussed from the viewpoint of visual information processing. It is shown that 1) the proposed processing is tolerant to shifts in position of input images, and that 2) spatial frequency filtering operations can be easily performed in the model.

It has been hypothesized that visual mental imagery and visual perception share the same processing systems in the brain. Evidence from ERP and PET studies examining this hypothesis is conflicting. In this study we investigated whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the occipital pole

One of the challenges faced by the visual system is integrating cues within and across processing streams for inferring scene properties and structure. This is particularly apparent in the inference of object motion, where psychophysical experiments have shown that integration of motion signals, dis
