Gabor-like image filtering using a neural microcircuit.
In this letter, we present an implementation of a neural microcircuit for image processing employing Hebbian-adaptive learning. The neuronal circuit utilizes only excitatory synapses to correlate action potentials, extracting the uncorrelated ones, which contain significant image information. This circuit is capable of approximating Gabor-like image filtering and other image processing functions.
