Abstract Visual perception plays a critical role in navigating 3D space and extracting semantic information crucial to survival. Even though visual stimulation on the retina is fundamentally 2D, we seem perceive world around us vivid effortlessly. This reconstructed allocentric faithfully represents external world. How can recreate stable so promptly reliably? To solve this mystery, have developed new concepts MePMoS (Memory-Prediction-Motion-Sensing) NHT (Neural Holography Tomography)....

Abstract Human vision has a remarkable ability to recognize complex 3D objects such as faces that appear with any size and orientations at location. If we initially memorize face only normalized viewed from directly head on, the direct comparison between one-sized memory new incoming image would demand tremendous mental frame translations in 7D. How can perform demanding task so promptly reliably experience world around us? Intriguingly, our primary visual cortex exhibits 2D retinotopy...

Abstract Human vision has a remarkable ability to recognize complex 3D objects such as faces that appear at any size and orientations location. If we initially memorize face only with normalized upfront the object center, direct comparison between one-sized memory an incoming new image would demand tremendous mental frame translations in 7D. How can perform demanding task so promptly experience it our daily lives? This paper specifically addresses recognition of human arbitrary orientation...

Abstract Visual perception plays a critical role in navigating space and extracting useful semantic information crucial to survival. To identify distant landmarks, we constantly shift gaze vectors through saccades, while still maintaining the visual of stable allocentric space. How can sustain so effortlessly? solve this question, have developed new concept NHT (Neural Holography Tomography). This model states that retinotopy is invisible (not available consciousness) must be converted time...
