Modeling Selective Attention Using a Neuromorphic Analog VLSI Device

摘要

Attentional mechanisms are required to overcome the problem of flood- ing a limited processing capacity system with information. They are present in biological sensory systems and can be a useful engineering tool for artificial visual systems. In this article we present a hardware model of a selective attention mechanism implemented on a very large- scale integration (VLSI) chip, using analog neuromorphic circuits.
