An inference upon the neural network finding binocular correspondence

Biological cybernetics
Y Hirai, K Fukushima

Abstract

Previously, the authors proposed a model of neural network extracting binocular parallax (Hirai and Fukushima, 1975). It is a multilayered network whose final layers consist of neural elements corresponding to "binocular depth neurons" found in monkey's visual cortex. The binocular depth neuron is selectively sensitive to a binocular stimulus with a specific amount of binocular parallax and does not respond to a monocular one. As described in the last chapter of the previous article (Hirai and Fukushima, 1975), when a binocular pair of input patterns consist of, for example, many vertical bars placed very closely to each other, the binocular depth neurons might respond not only to correct binocular pairs, but also to incorrect ones. Our present study is concentrated upon how the visual system finds correct binocular pairs or binocular correspondence. It is assumed that some neural network is cascaded after the binocular depth neurons and finds out correct binocular correspondence by eliminating the incorrect binocular pairs. In this article a model of such neural network is proposed. The performance of the model has been simulated on a digital computer. The results of the computer simulation show that this model finds binocular...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
