Bayesian population receptive field modelling [PDF]
We introduce a probabilistic (Bayesian) framework and associated software toolbox for mapping population receptive fields (pRFs) based on fMRI data. This generic approach is intended to work with stimuli of any dimension and is demonstrated and validated in the context of 2D retinotopic mapping.

Invariance of visual operations at the level of receptive fields [PDF]
Receptive field profiles registered by cell recordings have shown that mammalian vision has developed receptive fields tuned to different sizes and orientations in the image domain as well as to different image velocities in space-time.

Shifting Receptive Fields [PDF]
The very notion of a receptive field implies a defined, static region of sensitivity—for visual neurons, a region in retinotopic space. Other factors besides retinal stimulation (such as attentional state) may modulate neural responses, but the shape and position of the receptive field should remain fixed, permanently constrained by anatomical ...

Dilated Deep Residual Network for Image Denoising [PDF]
Variations of deep neural networks such as convolutional neural network (CNN) have been successfully applied to image denoising. The goal is to automatically learn a mapping from a noisy image to a clean image given training data consisting of pairs of ...

Information Optimization in Coupled Audio-Visual Cortical Maps [PDF]
Barn owls hunt in the dark by using cues from both sight and sound to locate their prey. This task is facilitated by topographic maps of the external space formed by neurons (e.g., in the optic tectum) that respond to visual or aural signals from a ...

Developmental sensory experience balances cortical excitation and inhibition. [PDF]
Early in life, neural circuits are highly susceptible to outside influences. The organization of the primary auditory cortex (A1) in particular is governed by acoustic experience during the critical period, an epoch near the beginning of postnatal ...

Nonlinear Hebbian learning as a unifying principle in receptive field formation [PDF]
The development of sensory receptive fields has been modeled in the past by a variety of models including normative models such as sparse coding or independent component analysis and bottom-up models such as spike-timing dependent plasticity or the ...

Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning? [PDF]
The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex and its contribution to cortical receptive field properties is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic ...
