Weasel, TN - Weasel

…Later, Masao Ito and others began to provide a physiological basis for this model, which has attracted attention as an example of the model's effectiveness. Regarding the visual nervous system, DH Hubel and TN Wiesel conducted neurophysiological research into the hierarchical structure of feature extraction. According to this research, the cells at the first level of the hierarchical structure are each responsible for detecting lines in a specific direction. …

...However, on the other hand, the mechanism that maintains homeostasis also causes various optical illusions.
[Neurophysiological research into perception]
Research in this field has developed rapidly since DH Hubel and TN Wiesel discovered cells in the cat's visual cortex that respond to thin slits, black lines, and edges in 1963. The visual cortex also contains cells that detect binocular disparity, retinal image movement, and color contrast, and these process information for stereoscopic vision, motion vision, and color perception.

From [Cognitive Science]

… In the 1950s, research into brain neurons and their models became active. For example, response-selective neurons (D. Hubel and T. Wiesel) and the information transmission mechanisms of nerve cells (AL Hodgkin and AF Huxley) were discovered. On the other hand, new knowledge was gained about the information representation and information processing of the mind, such as language, thinking, and memory. …

 この方面の研究は,ヒューベルD.H.HubelとウィーゼルT.N.Wieselが1963年にネコの視覚野で,細長いスリットや黒い線およびエッジに反応する細胞を発見してから急速に発展してきた。視覚野にはこのほか,両眼視差や網膜像の動きや色の対比を検出する細胞があり,これらが立体視や運動視や色彩知覚のための情報処理を行っている。…
