Abstract:Blurry visual scenes arise from many causes and image blur is known to be important for scene interpretation, yet there have been very few studies of the visual encoding of blur in biological visual systems or in artificial visual systems trained for object recognition. Recently, a study of single neurons in the visual cortex of macaque monkeys found that a significant fraction of neurons were more responsive to blurred visual stimuli than to sharply defined stimuli. This raises two questions: (1) what types o… Show more
