Winner-Take-All as Basic Probabilistic Inference Unit of Neuronal Circuits
Zhaofei Yu, Yonghong Tian, Tiejun Huang +1
Experimental observations of neuroscience suggest that the brain is working a probabilistic way when computing information with uncertainty. This processing could be modeled as Bay…

Neural System Identification with Spike-triggered Non-negative Matrix Factorization
Shanshan Jia, Zhaofei Yu, Arno Onken +3
Neuronal circuits formed in the brain are complex with intricate connection patterns. Such complexity is also observed in the retina as a relatively simple neuronal circuit. A reti…

A simple blind-denoising filter inspired by electrically coupled photoreceptors in the retina
Yang Yue, Liuyuan He, Gan He +4
Photoreceptors in the retina are coupled by electrical synapses called "gap junctions". It has long been established that gap junctions increase the signal-to-noise ratio of photor…
