AbstractTo faithfully encode complex stimuli, sensory neurons should correct, via adaptation, for stimulus properties that corrupt pattern recognition. Here, we investigate sound intensity adaptation in the Drosophila auditory system, which is largely devoted to processing courtship song. Mechanosensory neurons (JONs) in the antenna are sensitive not only to sound-induced antennal vibrations, but also to wind or gravity, which affect the antenna’s mean position. Song pattern recognition therefore requires adaptation to antennal position (stimulus mean) in addition to sound intensity (stimulus variance). We discover fast variance adaptation in Drosophila JONs, which corrects for background noise over the behaviorally relevant intensity range. We determine where mean and variance adaptation arises and how they interact. A computational model explains our results using a sequence of subtractive and divisive adaptation modules, interleaved by rectification. These results lay the foundation for identifying the molecular and biophysical implementation of adaptation to the statistics of natural sensory stimuli.

Spatial distorted target is very hard to be recognized for complexity and variety of targets, which has restricted the development of pattern recognition technology to a great extent. Joint transform correlator is one of the key equipments to detect and recognize distorted targets. The appearance and development of maximum average correlation height (MACH) algorithm is introduced in this paper. Based on the principle the algorithm and experimental analysis, an improved maximum average correlation height algorithm fit for joint transform correlator is proposed, which has powerful capability of suppressing background noise and widening distortion tolerance. Target images with different shapes including scale or angular distortion constitute MACH filter in frequency domain, which is projected to space domain as reference template including varieties of attitude. To show the feasibility of the algorithm, an airplane with angular distortion in sky is processed by MACH filter as an example. Simulation and optical experimental results are given in this paper. The experiments show the angular distortion tolerance can reach up to 15 degrees. The actual effect of the improved MACH filter algorithm is confirmed very well.
