Neocortical activity is stimulus- and scale-invariant
Mounting evidence supports the hypothesis that the cortex operates near a critical state, defined as the transition point between order (large-scale activity) and disorder (small-scale activity). This criticality is manifested by power law distribution of the size and duration of spontaneous cascades of activity, which are referred as neuronal avalanches. The existence of such neuronal avalanch...
متن کاملIs SIFT Scale Invariant?
This note is devoted to a mathematical exploration of whether Lowe’s Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) [21], a very successful image matching method, is similarity invariant as claimed. It is proved that the method is scale invariant only if the initial image blurs is exactly guessed. Yet, even a large error on the initial blur is quickly attenuated by this multiscale method, when the sc...
متن کاملStimulus background influences phase invariant coding by correlated neural activity
Previously we reported that correlations between the activities of peripheral afferents mediate a phase invariant representation of natural communication stimuli that is refined across successive processing stages thereby leading to perception and behavior in the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus (Metzen et al., 2016). Here, we explore how phase invariant coding and perception of n...
متن کاملScale invariance is driven by stimulus density
Scale invariance refers to aspects of visual perception that remain constant with changes in viewing distance. Previously, Dakin and Herbert [Proc. Roy. Soc. B. 265 (1397) (1998) 659] reported that the spatial integration region (IR) for mirror symmetry in bandpass noise is scale invariant because its dimensions scale with the inverse of peak spatial frequency. In bandpass noise, however, peak ...
متن کاملScale-free neocortical dynamics
Figure 1: Distributions of the numbers of connections at varying distances are schematized in log-log coordinates. The straight line indicates power-law 1/f. Scalefree dynamics of neocortex are characterized by hierarchical self-similarities of patterns of synaptic connectivity and spatiotemporal neural activity, seen in power-law distributions of structural and functional parameters and in ra...
