Attentional Gain Modulation as a Basis for Translation Invariance
نویسنده
چکیده
Inferotemporal (IT) neurons in monkeys can respond to visual stimuli in a translation-and scale-invariant manner. In a neural circuit model based on a recently reported form of gain modulation by attention in area V4, the modulated visual responses of model V4 neurons produce object-centered receptive elds further down the visual processing stream, accounting for invariances exhibited by IT neurons.

Attentional gain modulation as a basis for translationinvarianceEmilio
Inferotemporal (IT) neurons in monkeys can respond to visual stimuli in a translation-and scale-invariant manner.

متن کاملInvariant visual responses from attentional gain fields.
Inferotemporal (IT) neurons exhibit a substantial degree of invariance with respect to translation of images used as visual stimuli. Through theoretical and computer-modeling methods, we show how translation-invariant receptive fields, like those of IT neurons, can be generated from the responses of V4 neurons if the effects of attention are taken into account. The model incorporates a recently...
متن کاملA Unifying Mechanistic Model of Selective Attention in Spiking Neurons
Visuospatial attention produces myriad effects on the activity and selectivity of cortical neurons. Spiking neuron models capable of reproducing a wide variety of these effects remain elusive. We present a model called the Attentional Routing Circuit (ARC) that provides a mechanistic description of selective attentional processing in cortex. The model is described mathematically and implemented...
متن کاملGain modulation in the central nervous system: where behavior, neurophysiology, and computation meet.
Gain modulation is a nonlinear way in which neurons combine information from two (or more) sources, which may be of sensory, motor, or cognitive origin. Gain modulation is revealed when one input, the modulatory one, affects the gain or the sensitivity of the neuron to the other input, without modifying its selectivity or receptive field properties. This type of modulatory interaction is import...
متن کاملEffect of Relocation and Rotation on Radial Efficiency Scores for a Partially Negative Data Problem
Negative data handling has gained a remarkable importance in the literature of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to address many real life problems. Various erstwhile applications, in this arena, referred relocation of the origin to a superior (RDM) or to an inferior (Translated Input Oriented BCC) neighboring point. In this paper, the conditions for Rotation Invariance of various Data Envelop...
