Sentence examples for opponent system from inspiring English sources

This model combines colour and textural information in order to recognise colour texture images through the operation of two main components: a segmentation component composed of the colour opponent system (COS) and the chromatic segmentation system (CSS); and a recognition component formed by an ARTMAP-based neural network with scale and orientation-invariance properties.

We argue that hue mechanisms are opponent, based on a variety of evidence, including observations that one half of an opponent system can be used to cancel the sensation of its opponent [ 57, 58].

The first is the presence of 2 colocalized opponent systems subject to dopaminergic regulation, either from different receptor affinities or from distinct functional boundaries.

The available neurophysiological data on this are very limited, but suggest that there are no substantial differences between the spatial tuning of the chromatic L/M- and S-cone opponent systems in macaque V1 (Johnson et al., 2001, 2004), so tending to rebut this argument.

There is human psychophysical evidence not only for the presence of such S-cone inputs to area MT (Morand et al., 2000; but see Riecanský et al., 2005) but also for the participation of the B/Y-opponent system in directing spatial attention to a greater extent than the R/G-opponent system (Li et al., 2007).

Spectrally-opponent systems seem ubiquitous in species with color vision, ranging from assorted shallow-water mullets of the family Mugilidae [ 51], to eels [ 52], to macaque monkeys [ 53].

Our results demonstrate that there existed a wide spectrum of hue selectivity in early visual cortex (as early as primary visual cortex), which included both the cone-opponent systems and the voxels preferring intermediate hues away from the L − M and S axes.

However, with a chromatically antagonistic, or opponent, photosensory system, they could be capable of performing wavelength discrimination to detect subtle changes in environmental light, and of fine-tuning their color output accordingly.

And to many House members, most of whom win re-election easily against underfinanced opponents, the system hardly seems broken.

Sanders began with a denunciation of his opponents, the system and the complacency of boys and their parents.

Behavioral wavelength discrimination tests (Δλ functions) in stomatopods revealed a surprisingly poor performance, ruling out color vision that makes use of the conventional color-opponent coding system (6 8).
