Quotes
- “To understand the relationship between behavior and brain one has to begin by defining the function, or computational goal, of a complete behavior. Only then can a neuroscientist determine how the brain achieves that goal.”
- “Vision is a process that produces from images of the external world a description that is useful to the viewer and not cluttered with irrelevant information.”
- “A representation is a formal system for making explicit certain entities or types of information, together with a specification of how the system does this. And I shall call the result of using a representation to describe a given entity a description of the entity in that representation.”
- “The critical act in formulating computational theories turns out to be the discovery of valid constraints on the way the world is structured -- constraints that provide sufficient information to allow the processing to succeed.”
- “The primitives of a representation are the most elementary units of shape information available in a representation.”
- “Vision is the process of discovering from images what is present in the world, and where it is.”
