+ | and integrate feature items to group them into perceptual units | ||
+ | segregating them from other objects and the background. A | ||
+ | framework is discussed which explains how perceptual grouping at | ||
+ | early as well as higher-level cognitive stages may be implemented | ||
+ | in cortex. Different grouping mechanisms are implemented which are | ||
+ | attuned to basic features and feature combinations and mainly | ||
+ | evaluated along the forward sweep of stimulus processing. However, | ||
+ | due to limitations of local feature detection mechanisms and | ||
+ | inherent ambiguities, top-down feedback is required to deliver | ||
+ | contextual information helping to disambiguate initial | ||
+ | measurements. Feedback of contextual information is demonstrated | ||
+ | to improve object recognition performance, stabilize learning of | ||
+ | object categories, and integrate multi-sensory representations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The canonical principles of neural computation define a set of | ||
+ | core operations to implement above-mentioned mechanisms of | ||
+ | perceptual and cognitive inference. These operations can be | ||
+ | mapped, in a simplified form, onto neuromorphic platforms to | ||
+ | emulate brain-like computation. It is demonstrated that an | ||
+ | architecture composed of canonical circuit mechanisms can be | ||
+ | mapped onto neuromorphic chip technology facilitating low-energy | ||
+ | non-von Neumann computation.</blockquote></td></tr><tr valign="top"><td>2019-11-26</td><td>IIS guest <span style="font-weight:bold">Tamim Asfour</span>, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, gives an invited keynote <i>Engineering Humanoids with Motion Intelligence</i> at <a href="https://www.uibk.ac.at/informatik/studium/inday-students/index.html.en">inday students</a>. <span class="actions"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="showHide('newsitem15', 'Abstract')">[Abstract]</a></span><blockquote id="newsitem15Abstract" style="display:none">Humanoid robotics plays a central role in robotics | ||
