AbstractDynamic neural field theory has become a popular technique for modeling the spatio-temporal evolution of activity within the cortex. When using neural fields the right balance between excitation and inhibition within the field is crucial for a stable operation. Finding this balance is a severe problem, particularly in face of experience-driven changes of synaptic strengths. Homeostatic plasticity where the objective function for each unit is to r...

AbstractSeveral Advanced Driver Assistance Systems realizing elementary perception and analysis tasks have been introduced to market in recent years. For example, collision mitigation brake systems detect the distance and relative velocity of vehicles in front to assess the risk of a rear-end collision in a clearly defined following situation. In order to go beyond such elementary analysis tasks, today's research is focusing more and more on powerful per...

AbstractWe recently proposed a recurrent neural network model for the development of dynamic neural fields [1]. The learning regime incorporates homeostatic processes, such that the network is able to selforganize and maintain a stable operation mode even in face of experiencedriven changes in synaptic strengths. However, the learned mappings do not necessarily have to be topology preserving. Here we extend our model by incorporating another mechanism wh...

AbstractWe present a biologically inspired vision system able to incrementally learn multiple visual categories by interactively presenting several hand-held objects. The overall system is composed of a foregroundbackground separation part, several feature extraction methods and a life-long learning approach combining incremental learning with category specific feature selection. In contrast to most visual categorization approaches where typically each v...

AbstractTransferring motion from a human demonstrator to a humanoid robot is an important step toward developing robots that are easily programmable and that can replicate or learn from observed human motion. The so called motion retargeting problem has been well studied and several offline solutions exist based on optimization approaches that rely on pre-recorded human motion data collected from a marker-based motion capture system. From the perspective...
