A feed-forward spiking model of shape-coding by IT cells

چکیده
The ability to recognize a shape is linked to figure-ground (FG) organization. Cell preferences appear to be correlated across contrast-polarity reversals and mirror reversals of polygon displays, but not so much across FG reversals. Here we present a network structure which explains both shape-coding by simulated IT cells and suppression of responses to FG reversed stimuli. In our model FG segregation is achieved before shape discrimination, which is itself evidenced by the difference in spiking onsets of a pair of output cells. The studied example also includes feature extraction and illustrates a classification of binary images depending on the dominance of vertical or horizontal borders.

Modeling SMA actuated systems based on Bouc-Wen hysteresis model and feed-forward neural network
Despite the fact that shape-memory alloy (SMA) has several mechanical advantages as it continues being used as an actuator in engineering applications, using it still remains as a challenge since it shows both non-linear and hysteretic behavior. To improve the efficiency of SMA application, it is required to do research not only on modeling it, but also on control hysteresis behavior of these m...
متن کاملEffects of correlated input and electrical coupling on synchrony in fast-spiking cell networks
Fast-spiking (FS) cells in layer IV of the somatosensory cortex receive direct thalamocortical (TC) input and provide feed-forward inhibition onto layer IV excitatory cells. The level of synchronous firing of FS cells will affect the shape of this feed-forward output. Two factors that contribute to the synchrony are correlated TC input and electrical coupling between FS cells. Using a cell-pair...
متن کاملSparse image coding using an asynchronous spiking neural network
In order to explore coding strategies in the retina, we use a wavelet-like transform which output is sparse, as is observed in biological retinas [4]. This transform is defined in the context of a one-pass feed-forward spiking neural network, and the output is the list of its neurons’ spikes: it is recursively constructed using a greedy matching pursuit scheme which first selects higher contras...

Fast and accurate transient response is the main requirement in electric machine position control. Conventional cascade control structure has sluggish response due to the limitation of inner control loop bandwidth. In this paper, in order to decrease the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) transient response time it can be used reference model using feed-forward signals. In this structure...
متن کاملTraining a Spiking Neural Network to Generate Online Handwriting Movements
In this paper we developed a spiking neural network model that learns to generate online handwriting movements. The architecture is a feed forward network with one hidden layer. The input layer uses a set of Beta elliptic parameters. The hidden layer contains both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. Whereas the output layer provides the script coordinates x(t) and y(t). The proposed spiking neur...
