Optimal Combination of SOM Search in Best-Matching Units and Map Neighborhood
Abstract. The distribution of a class of objects, such as images depicting a specific topic, can be studied by observing the best-matching units (BMUs) of the objects’ feature v...

Self-Organization of Tactile Receptive Fields: Exploring Their Textural Origin and Their Representational Properties
In our earlier work, we found that feature space induced by tactile receptive fields (TRFs) are better than that by visual receptive fields (VRFs) in texture boundary detection t...
