Recurrent models of orientation selectivity enable robust early-vision processing in mixed-signal neuromorphic hardware by Valentina Baruzzi, Giacomo Indiveri, Silvio P. Sabatini

“…Compared to strictly feed-forward schemes, the model generates highly structured Gabor-like receptive fields of any phase symmetry, making optimal use of the hardware resources available in terms of synaptic connections and neuron numbers. Experimental results validate the approach, demonstrating how principles of neural computation can lead to robust sensory processing electronic systems, even when they are affected by high degree of heterogeneity, e.g., due to the use of analog circuits or memristive devices.…”
