Rapid Formation of Robust Auditory Memories: Insights from Noise
Trevor R. Agus,Trevor R. Agus,Simon J. Thorpe,Simon J. Thorpe,Daniel Pressnitzer,Daniel Pressnitzer +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that rapid sensory plasticity could explain how the auditory brain creates useful memories from the ever-changing, but sometimes repeating, acoustical world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of neural stereoscopic processing in primate area V1 by the viewing distance.
TL;DR: In alert, behaving monkeys the responsiveness of a large majority of neurons in the primary visual cortex (area V1) was modulated by the viewing distance, suggesting extraretinal factors, probably related to ocular vergence or accommodation, or both, can affect processing early in the visual pathway.
Spike arrival times: A highly efficient coding scheme for neural networks
TL;DR: Energy absorbing crash or collision devices for vehicles or the like to reduce shock of collision by utilizing energy absorbing components which are flexible and compressible and/or rigid and crushable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurons Tune to the Earliest Spikes Through STDP
TL;DR: It is shown in this theoretical study that repeated inputs systematically lead to a shaping of the neuron's selectivity, emphasizing its very first input spikes, while steadily decreasing the postsynaptic response latency.
Journal ArticleDOI
2012 Special Issue: Extraction of temporally correlated features from dynamic vision sensors with spike-timing-dependent plasticity
TL;DR: Results show that a simple biologically inspired unsupervised learning scheme is capable of generating selectivity to complex meaningful events on the basis of relatively little sensory experience.
