Rekauzke et al. - Temporal asymmetry in dark-bright processing initiates propagating activity across primary visual cortex. DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3235-15.2016
In this paper it is shown how sudden counterchange in luminance creates motion signals across visual cortex.
The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a interdisciplinary research unit of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We aim to understand fundamental principles that characterize how organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory and effector systems. Inspired by insights into natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental approaches from psychology and neurophysiology, theoretical approaches from physics, mathematics, and computer science, including, in particular, machine learning, artificial intelligence, autonomous robotics, and computer vision.
