This paper proposes a novel approach to recognize actions and objects within the context of each other. Assuming that the different actions involve different objects in image sequences and there is one-toone relation between object and action type, we present a Bayesian network based framework which combines motion patterns and object usage information to recognize actions/objects. More specifi...

Running increases adult neurogenesis and improves pattern separation in various memory tasks including context fear conditioning or touch-screen based spatial learning. However, it is unknown whether pattern separation is improved in spontaneous behavior, not emotionally biased by positive or negative reinforcement. Here we investigated the effect of voluntary running on pattern separation duri...

Here we tested whether the well-known superiority of spaced training over massed training is equally evident in both object identity and object location recognition memory. We trained animals with objects placed in a variable or in a fixed location to produce a location-independent object identity memory or a location-dependent object representation. The training consisted of 5 trials that occu...

Understanding what visual features and representations contribute to human object recognition may provide scaffolding for more effective artificial vision systems. While recent advances in Deep Convolutional Networks (DCNs) have led to systems approaching human accuracy, it is unclear if they leverage the same visual features as humans for object recognition. We introduce Clicktionary, a compet...
