视觉神经表征中底-顶和顶-底的双向激活——来自人与猴的实验证据

长期以来 ,建立在坚实生理学证据之上的底 顶加工说和特征检测理论在视觉研究中占主导地位。对于顶 底加工人们只能靠一般常识 ,即知识或经验通过激活记忆中的神经表征影响视觉过程。但是近年来 ,来自人和猴的研究为顶 底的加工提供了实验证据。首先位于猴腹侧加工系统内的物体和面孔视觉记忆表征 ,提供了神经编码是怎样创立、组织和再激活的最佳实验证据。联想性编码是通过学习由一些具有特殊功能的神经元建立的 ,这些神经元具有将时间性关联刺激的表征联系起来的能力。其次 ,不仅来自视网膜的底 顶信号 ,而且来自前额叶的顶 底信号都能触发联想性编码的提取 ,既可以作为有意识回忆的神经基础 ,又是顶 底加工影响视觉过程的基础。脑损伤病人研究、具有高时间分辨率的人类功能性核磁共振成像 (functionalmagneticresonanceimaging ,fMRI)和猴fMRI研究以及猴细胞电生理分析相结合 ,将进一步加强人们对视觉脑机制的全面理解。

Wear Debris Identification Using Feature Extraction and Neural Network

A method and results of identification of wear debris using their morphological features are presented. The color images of wear debris were used as initial data. Each particle was characterized by a set of numerical parameters combined by its shape, color and surface texture features through a computer vision system. Those features were used as input vector of artificial neural network for wear debris identification. A radius basis function (RBF) network based model suitable for wear debris recognition was established, and its algorithm was presented in detail. Compared with traditional recognition methods, the RBF network model is faster in convergence, and higher in accuracy.
