چکیده
Circuitry that performs primitive attention tasks is presented. With the addition of feedback to a winner-take-all circuit we are able to mediate the selection of a single location within a sensory array through the use of hysteresis.

Analog VLSI Circuits for Sensory Attentive Processing
Analog very large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuits that perform the selection process for attentive sensory processing are presented. These circuits use excitatory feedback in a winner-take-all computation to produce a hysteresis in the selection from one location to the next. They also use an inhibitory mechanism to disengage attention so that more than one stimulus is attended, even when the ...
متن کاملA neuromorphic VLSI device for implementing 2D selective attention systems
Selective attention is a mechanism used to sequentially select and process salient subregions of the input space, while suppressing inputs arriving from nonsalient regions. By processing small amounts of sensory information in a serial fashion, rather than attempting to process all the sensory data in parallel, this mechanism overcomes the problem of flooding limited processing capacity systems...
متن کاملImplementing Neural Architectures Using Analog VLSI Circuits
Biological systems routinely perform computations, such as speech recognition and the calculation of visual motion, that baffle our most powerful computers. Analog very large-scale integrated (VLSI) technology allows us not only to study and simulate biological systems, but also to emulate them in designing artificial sensory systems. A methodology for building these systems in CMOS VLSI techno...

Selective attention is a mechanisms used to sequentially select the spatial locations of salient regions in the sensor’s field of view. This mechanism overcomes the problem of flooding limited processing capacity systems with sensory information. It is found in many biological sensory systems and can be a useful engineering tool for artificial visual systems. We present a hardware model of a se...

Attentional mechanisms are required to overcome the problem of flooding a limited processing capacity system with information. They are present in biological sensory systems and can be a useful engineering tool for artificial visual systems. In this article we present a hardware model of a selective attention mechanism implemented on a very large-scale integration (VLSI) chip, using analog neur...
