Distributed dendritic processing facilitates object detection: a computational analysis on the visual system of the fly.
BACKGROUND: Detecting objects is an important task when moving through a natural environment. Flies, for example, may land on salient objects or may avoid collisions with them. The neuronal ensemble of Figure Detection cells (FD-cells) in the visual system of the fly is likely to be involved in cont...
