Predetermined digital image searching and recognizing method for microcomputer, involves allocating subscript to index to provide image that obtains reduced image having value chosen by function applied to pixels of reduced image

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for providing a characteristic image constituted of subimages, and reducing the image to provide a reduced image by replacing each subimage by a value determined like a function of specific pixels of the subimages.

Ultra-rapid visual categorisation using one spike per neuron

TL;DR: It is argued that the response latency of face-selective visual responses in high order visual areas such as the primate inferotemporal cortex poses severe problems for almost all models of visual processing that rely on iterative processing.

Method, digital electronic circuit and system for unsupervised detection of repeating patterns in a series of events

TL;DR: In this article, a method of performing unsupervised detection of repeating patterns in a series (TS) of events (E21, E12, E5...), comprising the steps of: a) providing a plurality of neurons (NR1 - NRP), each neuron being representative of W event types; b) acquiring an input packet (IV) comprising N successive events of the series; c) attributing to at least some neurons a potential value (PT1 - PTP), representative of the number of common events between the input packet and the neuron; d

The fate of visual long term memories for images across weeks in adults and children

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated how visual LTM is affected over time and whether visual vs semantic features are affected differentially in both adults and 9-year-old children, and found that multiple and extended exposures are crucial for retaining an image for several weeks.

Microsaccades during high speed continuous visual search

TL;DR: The authors found that a single feedforward pass through the visual hierarchy for each stimulus is likely all that is needed to effectuate prolonged continuous visual search and provided evidence that micro-saccades can serve perceptual functions like correcting saccades or effectuating task-oriented goals.
