Abstract
Can cellular automata be a representative model for visual perception dynamics?
Highlights
“Cellular automata (CA) are mathematical models for systems in which many simple components act together to produce complicated patterns of behavior” (Packard and Wolfram, 1985)
Studying the visual system can be very useful, because as already previously demonstrated, “The visual system has the most complex neural circuitry of all the sensory systems (Kandel et al, 2000)” and at least 20% of human cerebral cortex is related to the visual part (Olshausen, 2002)
Trying to understand visual perception may lead us to a better understanding of how other cognitive processes in the brains work
