Neural Architecture of Auditory Object Categorization

Neural and behavioral correlates of auditory categorization.

Goal-directed behavior is the essence of adaptation because it allows humans and other animals to respond dynamically to different environmental scenarios. Goal-directed behavior can be characterized as the formation of dynamic links between stimuli and actions. One important attribute of goal-directed behavior is that linkages can be formed based on how a stimulus is categorized. That is, link...

Neural Correlates of Auditory Object Perception

As you sit in front of this book, reading these words, pause for a moment, listen, and ask yourself: What do I hear? Perhaps you hear some conversations going on in the background, some devices making noises of various kinds (an almost omnipresent feature of the modern world). Or perhaps you are in an unusually quiet place, and there is effectively nothing to hear. Almost certain is that you wo...

Neural basis underlying auditory categorization in the human brain

Neural Network Architecture for 3D Object Representation

The paper discusses a neural network architecture for 3D object modeling. A multi-layered feedforward structure having as inputs the 3D-coordinates of the object points is employed to model the object space. Cascaded with a transformation neural network module, the proposed architecture can be used to generate and train 3D objects, perform transformations, set operations and object morphing. A ...

Learning semantic object parts for object categorization

Appearance based approaches to object recognition mostly rely on measuring the visual similarity of objects based on global or local descriptors. They have shown great success in object identification but often do not generalize to the more challenging case of object categorization, where category membership is often decided not only on a level of appearances, but also on a semantic level. It h...
