Modeling the acceleration sensitive neurons in the pigeon optokinetic system
Recent physiological findings revealed that about one-third of motion-sensitive neurons in the pigeon's pretectal nucleus encoded the acceleration of visual motion. Here we pr...

On partial contraction analysis for coupled nonlinear oscillators
We describe a simple but general method to analyze networks of coupled identical nonlinear oscillators, and study applications to fast synchronization, locomotion, and schooling. ...

The spatiotemporal learning rule and its efficiency in separating spatiotemporal patterns
The hippocampus plays an important role in the course of establishing long-term memory, i.e., to make short-term memory of spatially and temporally associated input information. In...

Velocity constancy and models for wide-field visual motion detection in insects
The tangential neurons in the lobula plate region of the flies are known to respond to visual motion across broad receptive fields in visual space. When intracellular recordings ar...

Visual shape recognition with contour propagation
A neural architecture is presented that encodes the visual space inside and outside of a shape. The contours of a shape are propagated across an excitable neuronal map and fed thro...

Self-organization in the olfactory system: one shot odor recognition in insects
We show in a model of spiking neurons that synaptic plasticity in the mushroom bodies in combination with the general fan-in, fan-out properties of the early processing layers of t...

A control theory approach to the analysis and synthesis of the experimentally observed motion primitives
Recent experiments on frogs and rats, have led to the hypothesis that sensory-motor systems are organized into a finite number of linearly combinable modules; each module generates...
