The One

Visual memory identification is a key cognitive process for intelligent virtual agents living on virtual environments. This process allows the virtual agents to develop an internal representation of the environment for the posterior production of intelligent responses. There are many architectures based on memory modules for environment visual elements identification, as if they were invariant, this way of processing a visual scene is different from the one that real humans use. This document presents the description of a visual memory identification model based on current neuroscience state of art. Furthermore; the proposed model considers memory as a system that treats information in three stages: to encode, store and retrieve acquired knowledge about the environment. On the other hand, the authors validate the implementation of their approach with two identification tasks: when the stimulus is known and when it is unknown. Actually, this work is part of a proposal for a cognitive architecture that will let the authors create virtual agents with more credible human behaviors.

Visual Object Identification

We investigated whether neonatal brain damage can give rise to visual perceptual deficits, in addition to the well-documented impairments in visual acuity. To this end, forty-one children (age 5.02 to 5.89 years) were given four visual object identification tasks and three visuo-constructive tasks. These subjects were neonatal at risk owing to prematurity or birth asphyxia. From neonatal ultrasound scans, the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH, N = 17), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL, N = 15), and/or white matter damage due to either of these conditions (WMD, N = 9) was determined for each subject. Scans were normal in fourteen of them. The number of subjects performing at or below Pc10 of same-age normal children was significantly above 10% for each task (range 27% – 49%). This was still true when mental instead of chronological age was used for comparison, as shown by the results of nine subjects for which intelligence data were available. This high incidence of impairment is not attributable to loss of visual acuity, since grating acuity was reduced in only four subjects (14 – 19 cycles deg−1). The frequency of scores < Pc10 correlated significantly with WMD in six tasks, with PVL in 4 tasks, but not with ICH. We conclude that neonatal at risk children are more likely to develop impaired visual perceptual skills, independent of mental disability and visual acuity loss. On ultrasound permanent white matter abnormalities are most strongly associated with visual perceptual deficit, whereas intracranial hemorrhage is unrelated.

AbstractVisual object identification requires both selectivity for specific visual features that are important to the object’s identity and invariance to feature manipulations. For example, a hand can be shifted in position, rotated, or contracted but still be recognised as a hand. How are the competing requirements of selectivity and invariance built into the early stages of visual processing? Typically, cells in the primary visual cortex are classified as either simple or complex. They both show selectivity for edge-orientation but complex cells develop invariance to edge position within the receptive field (spatial phase). Using a data-driven model that extracts the spatial structures and nonlinearities associated with neuronal computation, we show that the balance between selectivity and invariance in complex cells is more diverse than thought. Phase invariance is frequently partial, thus retaining sensitivity to brightness polarity, while invariance to orientation and spatial frequency are more extensive than expected. The invariance arises due to two independent factors: (1) the structure and number of filters and (2) the form of nonlinearities that act upon the filter outputs. Both vary more than previously considered, so primary visual cortex forms an elaborate set of generic feature sensitivities, providing the foundation for more sophisticated object processing.
