A cortical-inspired model for orientation-dependent contrast perception: a link with Wilson-Cowan equations
We consider a differential model describing neuro-physiological contrast perception phenomena induced by surrounding orientations. The mathematical formulation relies on a cortical-inspired modelling [10] largely used over the last years to describe neuron interactions in the primary visual cortex (V1) and applied to several image processing problems [12,19,13]. Our model connects to Wilson-Cowan-type equations [23] and it is analogous to the one used in [3,2,14] to describe assimilation and contrast phenomena, the main novelty being its explicit dependence on local image orientation. To confirm the validity of the model, we report some numerical tests showing its ability to explain orientation-dependent phenomena (such as grating induction) and geometric-optical illusions [21,16] classically explained only by filtering-based techniques [6,18].

Cortical-inspired Wilson-Cowan-type equations for orientation-dependent contrast perception modelling
We consider the evolution model proposed in [9, 6] to describe illusory contrast perception phenomena induced by surrounding orientations. Firstly, we highlight its analogies and differences with the widely used Wilson-C…
A cortical-inspired sub-Riemannian model for Poggendorff-type visual illusions
We consider Wilson-Cowan-type models for the mathematical description of orientation-dependent Poggendorff-like illusions. Our modelling improves two previously proposed cortical-inspired approaches embedding the sub-Rie…
Vocal Bursts Type PredictionMulti-frequency image completion via a biologically-inspired sub-Riemannian model with frequency and phase
We present a novel cortically-inspired image completion algorithm. It uses a five dimensional sub-Riemannian cortical geometry modelling the orientation, spatial frequency and phase selective behavior of the cells in the…
Can visual information encoded in cortical columns be decoded from magnetoencephalography data in humans?
It is a principal open question whether noninvasive imaging methods in humans can decode information encoded at a spatial scale as fine as the basic functional unit of cortex: cortical columns. We addressed this question…
Open-Ended Question AnsweringA second-order orientation-contrast stimulus for population-receptive-field-based retinotopic mapping
Visual field or retinotopic mapping is one of the most frequently used paradigms in fMRI. It uses activity evoked by position-varying high luminance contrast visual patterns presented throughout the visual field for dete…
