How we know universals: the perception of auditory and visual forms
Walter Pitts,Warren S. McCulloch +1 more
TLDR
Two neural mechanisms are described which exhibit recognition of forms which are independent of small perturbations at synapses of excitation, threshold, and synchrony, and are referred to partiular appropriate regions of the nervous system, thus suggesting experimental verification.About:

Visual pattern recognition by moment invariants
TL;DR: It is shown that recognition of geometrical patterns and alphabetical characters independently of position, size and orientation can be accomplished and it is indicated that generalization is possible to include invariance with parallel projection.

Object Detection With Deep Learning: A Review
TL;DR: In this article, a review of deep learning-based object detection frameworks is provided, focusing on typical generic object detection architectures along with some modifications and useful tricks to improve detection performance further.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal Population Coding of Movement Direction
TL;DR: The direction of movement was found to be uniquely predicted by the action of a population of motor cortical neurons that can be monitored during various tasks, and similar measures in other neuronal populations could be of heuristic value where there is a neural representation of variables with vectorial attributes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principles of neurodynamics. perceptrons and the theory of brain mechanisms
TL;DR: The background, basic sources of data, concepts, and methodology to be employed in the study of perceptrons are reviewed, and some of the notation to be used in later sections are presented.

What the Frog's Eye Tells the Frog's Brain
TL;DR: The results show that for the most part within that area of the optic nerve of a frog, it is not the light intensity itself but rather the pattern of local variation of intensity that is the exciting factor.

Vestibulo-ocular reflex arc
TL;DR: When Cajal and van Gehuchten developed the concept of axonal polarization, the elementary reflex arc acquired a more general significance and became the expression of the fundamental plan of structure and function of the nervous system.

The production of rhythmically recurrent cortical potentials after localized thalamic stimulation
TL;DR: During the course of experiments designed to determine the cortical representation of localized thalamic regions, it was observed that stimulation at a frequency of 5 to 15 per second was followed by a recruiting cortical response when the stimulating electrodes were placed in the region of the midline nuclei which bore a remarkable superficial resemblance to the spontaneously generated bursts of 8 to 12 per sec. activity.

Mechanism of thalamocortical augmentation and repetition
R. S. Morison,E. W. Dempsey +1 more
TL;DR: A more thorough investigation of the properties of the system responsible for the augmented and repeating effects of cortical activity elicited by stimulation of the sensory path showed that the repetitive response of the thalamus, though still present after the procedure, was always depressed.

The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Arc
TL;DR: Three topics related to Vestibulo-Ocular Reflexes will be considered in this chapter: (1) the function of eye movements induced by the Vestibular Reflex Arc, (2) the pattern of eye movement induced by various parts of the vestibular apparatus, and (3) the central pathways which carry activity responsible for these deviations.
