Spatial and color hallucinations in a mathematical model of primary visual cortex
We study a simplified model of the representation of colors in the primate primary cortical visual area V1. The model is described by an initial value problem related to a Hammerstein equation. The solutions to this problem represent the variation of the activity of populations of neurons in V1 as a function of space and color. The two space variables describe the spatial extent of the cortex while the two color variables describe the hue and the saturation represented at every location in the cortex. We prove the well-posedness of the initial value problem. We focus on its stationary, i.e. independent of time, and periodic in space solutions. We show that the model equation is equivariant with respect to the direct product G of the group of the Euclidean transformations of the planar lattice determined by the spatial periodicity and the group of color transformations, isomorphic to O(2), and study the equivariant bifurcations of its stationary solutions when some parameters in the model vary. Their variations may be caused by the consumption of drugs and the bifurcated solutions may represent visual hallucinations in space and color. Some of the bifurcated solutions can be determined by applying the Equivariant Branching Lemma (EBL) by determining the axial subgroups of G . These define bifurcated solutions which are invariant under the action of the corresponding axial subgroup. We compute analytically these solutions and illustrate them as color images. Using advanced methods of numerical bifurcation analysis we then explore the persistence and stability of these solutions when varying some parameters in the model. We conjecture that we can rely on the EBL to predict the existence of patterns that survive in large parameter domains but not to predict their stability. On our way we discover the existence of spatially localized stable patterns through the phenomenon of "snaking".

Mitigating Action-Relation Hallucinations in LVLMs via Relation-aware Visual Enhancement
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on diverse vision-language tasks. However, LVLMs still suffer from hallucinations, generating text that contradicts the visual input. Existing res…
Hist2Style: Histogram-Guided Stylization with Bilateral Grids
Photorealistic style transfer aims to match the color and tone of an input image to that of a style target while preserving the content and details of the original scene. Although existing large image models can facilita…
Style TransferImage EditingPrimary visual cortex contributes to color constancy by predicting rather than discounting the illuminant: evidence from a computational study
Color constancy (CC) is an important ability of the human visual system to stably perceive the colors of objects despite considerable changes in the color of the light illuminating them. While increasing evidence from th…
Color ConstancyLook Clearly Before Answering: Mitigating Hallucinations in LVLMs via Saliency-Driven Perceptual Realignment
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in multimodal understanding. However, they remain prone to hallucinations, generating responses that are inconsistent with the visual evidenc…
From Pixels to Tokens: Revisiting Object Hallucinations in Large Vision-Language Models
Hallucinations in large vision-language models (LVLMs) are a significant challenge, i.e., generating objects that are not presented in the visual input, which impairs their reliability. Recent studies often attribute hal…
