The impact of axon wiring costs on small neuronal networks
Recent papers by D. Chklovskii and E.M. Izhikevich suggest that wiring costs may play a significant role in the physical layout and function of neuronal structures. About eighty ye...

Linear Projection based on Noise Variance Estimation - Application to Spectral Data
In this paper, we propose a new methodology to build latent variables that are optimal if a nonlinear model is used afterward. This method is based on Nonparametric Noise Estimatio...

A neural model with feedback for robust disambiguation of motion
Abstract. The aperture problem is a direct consequence of any local detection in the visual perception of motion. It results in ambiguous responses of the local motion detectors. B...
