From entorhinal grid cell to hippocampal place cell Neural oscillations may code spatial location Speed perception in apparent motion stimuli Restoring speech to paralyzed individuals Understanding natural scenes: From global gist to local textures Remembering the order of events in unique experiences New undergraduate textbook for learning and memory 2007 A laminar cortical model for 3D boundary and surface representation of complex natural scenes How do we see objects move? Laminar cortical dynamics of visual form and motion interactions A neural model of probabilistic decision-making during motion perception A neural model of visually-guided steering, obstacle avoidance and route selection Heading from optic flow in a neural model of primate motion processing and navigation Visual tracking and perception of unpredictably moving targets SOVEREIGN: A Self-Organizing, Vision, Expectation, Recognition, Emotion, Intelligent, Goal-oriented Navigation system Neural dynamics on how cognition and emotion work together to choose and evaluate rewards Brain oscillations as a neural timing signal Image analysis: Long-range object completion and figure-ground segmentation Learning to predict HIV drug resistance New CELEST graduate course: Comparative analysis of learning systems CELEST curriculum innovation and outreach 2006 How the brain sees the world in depth Texture and form perception by visual cortex: Perceptual grouping, learning and attention View-invariant object category learning,attention, and recognition From neuronal spikes to cognitive learning and performance: Unifying multiple levels of brain dynamics in thalamocortical interactions How the brain stores, learns, and performs sequences of cognitive and motor behaviors Learning to speak Normal and abnormal learning and memory: How cognitive and emotional learning are joined together Oscillatory multiplexing of encoding and retrieval DISCOV(Dimensionless Shunting COlor Vision) model: Neurophysiology, image processing and pattern recognition CLASSER (CLASSifier Simulation ManagER) open-source software tools CONFIGR (CONtour FIgure GRound) image processing system CELEST is creating a new educational curriculum Individual differences in language processing Learning in concept formation and rule discovery 2005 Perceptual learning with and without attention Learning of sequential behaviors by the behaving brain Learning to balance between planned and reactive behaviors Learning a knowledge hierarchy Learning to speak Learning goal-directed navigation
