Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Optics
  • Neuroscience

Horace Barlow focuses on Retina, Artificial intelligence, Stimulus, Neuroscience and Receptive field. The various areas that Horace Barlow examines in his Retina study include Motion perception, Biophysics and Anatomy. His research integrates issues of Coding, Perception, Computer vision and Pattern recognition in his study of Artificial intelligence.

His Sensory neuroscience study in the realm of Perception connects with subjects such as Perceptual psychology. His Stimulus research incorporates elements of Statistical physics and Increment threshold. In his research, Animal science, Tonic and Luminance is intimately related to Darkness, which falls under the overarching field of Receptive field.

His most cited work include:

  • Single units and sensation: a neuron doctrine for perceptual psychology? (1389 citations)
  • The mechanism of directionally selective units in rabbit's retina. (1351 citations)
  • The neural mechanism of binocular depth discrimination (1097 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Optics, Artificial intelligence, Cognitive science and Retina. His research in the fields of Spatial frequency and Scotopic vision overlaps with other disciplines such as Sensitivity and Materials science. His study in Artificial intelligence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cortex, Computer vision and Pattern recognition.

His Computer vision research integrates issues from Visual perception and Visual field. The Cognitive science study which covers Perception that intersects with Cognitive psychology and Coding. The Retina study combines topics in areas such as Stimulus, Receptive field and Anatomy, Ganglion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (20.39%)
  • Optics (19.08%)
  • Artificial intelligence (17.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2014)?

  • Perception (11.84%)
  • Cognitive science (13.82%)
  • Artificial intelligence (17.76%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Horace Barlow mainly focuses on Perception, Cognitive science, Artificial intelligence, Optics and Cognitive psychology. Horace Barlow combines subjects such as Natural, Sensory stimulation therapy, Skepticism and Internet privacy with his study of Perception. Horace Barlow interconnects Ocular Physiological Phenomena, Efficient coding hypothesis, Neuroscience, Sensory system and Gestalt psychology in the investigation of issues within Cognitive science.

His work on Range as part of general Artificial intelligence study is frequently connected to Amplitude modulation, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Optics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Image noise and Psychophysics. His Visual cortex study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Simple and Reflexive pronoun.

Between 1998 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Possible Principles Underlying the Transformations of Sensory Messages (1026 citations)
  • Redundancy reduction revisited. (464 citations)
  • The exploitation of regularities in the environment by the brain. (94 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Optics
  • Neuroscience

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cognitive science, Perception, Artificial intelligence, Efficient coding hypothesis and Sensory system. His Cognitive science study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Natural, Coding and Cognition. His Perception study incorporates themes from Inductive reasoning, Term, Object and Trajectory.

His Artificial intelligence study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Stimulus.
