Monograph of Dr. rer. nat. Andreas Heinrich Malczan
The special feature of these interpolation circuits and inversion circuits in
the amygdala and in the nucleus olivaris and cerebellum is the guarantee of
colour constancy. The coding of the colour by the minimum or maximum of
excitations resulting from the superposition of convex or concave functions is
invariant to the multiplication of all input excitations by the same factor.
Although the absolute fire rates of the signals increase, the location of the
extreme value in the superposition remains the same. This is exactly the color
constancy observed in reality. It does not require any higher intelligence, but
is natural and legal. It follows from the invariance of the extreme value of a
function compared to a simple multiplication with a factor not equal to zero.
The processing of visual signals by the amygdala and by the cerebellum is now
generally accepted and secured. This monograph shows for the first time the
(possibly) used algorithm.
Vertebrates have the ability to perform light-dark and colour analysis as well
as the ability to recognise visual objects. In addition to the colour and
brightness of such objects, it is primarily their outline that makes recognition
possible.
