Linear systems analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging in human V1

…, SA Engel, GH Glover, DJ Heeger - Journal of …, 1996 - Soc Neuroscience
The linear transform model of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) hypothesizes
that fMRI responses are proportional to local average neural activity averaged over a period …

Normalization as a canonical neural computation

M Carandini, DJ Heeger - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2012 - nature.com
There is increasing evidence that the brain relies on a set of canonical neural computations,
repeating them across brain regions and modalities to apply similar operations to different …

[PDF][PDF] Pyramid-based texture analysis/synthesis

DJ Heeger, JR Bergen - Proceedings of the 22nd annual conference on …, 1995 - dl.acm.org
This paper describes a method for synthesizing images that match the texture appearance
of a given digitized sample. This synthesis is completely automatic and requires only the “…

Normalization of cell responses in cat striate cortex

DJ Heeger - Visual neuroscience, 1992 - cambridge.org
… Some of the material in this paper has been reported previously (Heeger & Adelson, 1989;
Heeger, 1990, 1991). Further results are reported in a companion paper (Heeger, 1992a). A …

[HTML][HTML] The normalization model of attention

JH Reynolds, DJ Heeger - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
Attention has been found to have a wide variety of effects on the responses of neurons in
visual cortex. We describe a model of attention that exhibits each of these different forms of …

What does fMRI tell us about neuronal activity?

DJ Heeger, D Ress - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2002 - nature.com
In recent years, cognitive neuroscientists have taken great advantage of functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) as a non-invasive method of measuring neuronal activity in the …

Linearity and normalization in simple cells of the macaque primary visual cortex

M Carandini, DJ Heeger, JA Movshon - Journal of Neuroscience, 1997 - Soc Neuroscience
Simple cells in the primary visual cortex often appear to compute a weighted sum of the light
intensity distribution of the visual stimuli that fall on their receptive fields. A linear model of …

[HTML][HTML] A model of neuronal responses in visual area MT

EP Simoncelli, DJ Heeger - Vision research, 1998 - Elsevier
Electrophysiological studies indicate that neurons in the middle temporal (MT) area of the
primate brain are selective for the velocity of visual stimuli. This paper describes a …

[PDF][PDF] Probability distributions of optical flow.

EP Simoncelli, EH Adelson, DJ Heeger - CVPR, 1991 - cns.nyu.edu
Gradient methods are widely used in the computation of optical flow. We discuss extensions
of these methods which compute probability distributions of optical flow. The use of …

Shiftable multiscale transforms

…, WT Freeman, EH Adelson, DJ Heeger - IEEE transactions on …, 1992 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
One of the major drawbacks of orthogonal wavelet transforms is their lack of translation
invariance: the content of wavelet subbands is unstable under translations of the input signal. …
