Autonomous Development of Active Binocular and Motion Vision Through Active Efficient Coding [PDF]
We present a model for the autonomous and simultaneous learning of active binocular and motion vision. The model is based on the Active Efficient Coding (AEC) framework, a recent generalization of classic efficient coding theories to active perception ...

Spatio-Temporally Efficient Coding Assigns Functions to Hierarchical Structures of the Visual System [PDF]
Hierarchical structures constitute a wide array of brain areas, including the visual system. One of the important questions regarding visual hierarchical structures is to identify computational principles for assigning functions that represent the ...

Efficient coding of natural scene statistics predicts discrimination thresholds for grayscale textures [PDF]
Previously, in Hermundstad et al., 2014, we showed that when sampling is limiting, the efficient coding principle leads to a ‘variance is salience’ hypothesis, and that this hypothesis accounts for visual sensitivity to binary image statistics.

Efficient Temporal Coding in the Early Visual System: Existing Evidence and Future Directions
While it is universally accepted that the brain makes predictions, there is little agreement about how this is accomplished and under which conditions.

Rat sensitivity to multipoint statistics is predicted by efficient coding of natural scenes [PDF]
Efficient processing of sensory data requires adapting the neuronal encoding strategy to the statistics of natural stimuli. Previously, in Hermundstad et al., 2014, we showed that local multipoint correlation patterns that are most variable in natural ...

Adaptation of olfactory receptor abundances for efficient coding [PDF]
Olfactory receptor usage is highly heterogeneous, with some receptor types being orders of magnitude more abundant than others. We propose an explanation for this striking fact: the receptor distribution is tuned to maximally represent information about ...

Efficient coding in biophysically realistic excitatory-inhibitory spiking networks [PDF]
The principle of efficient coding posits that sensory cortical networks are designed to encode maximal sensory information with minimal metabolic cost.

Toward a Biologically Plausible Model of LGN-V1 Pathways Based on Efficient Coding [PDF]
Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that the visual system employs a sparse code to represent visual stimuli, where information is encoded in an efficient way by a small population of cells that respond to sensory input at a given time.

Beauty is in the efficient coding of the beholder. [PDF]
Sexual ornaments are often assumed to be indicators of mate quality. Yet it remains poorly known how certain ornaments are chosen before any coevolutionary race makes them indicative. Perceptual biases have been proposed to play this role, but known biases are mostly restricted to a specific taxon, which precludes evaluating their general importance in
