Dissociable forms of repetition priming: a computational model.

abstract：:A single-layered Hough transform network is proposed that accepts image coordinates of each object pixel as input and produces a set of outputs that indicate the belongingness of the pixel to a particular structure (e.g., a straight line). The network is able to learn adaptively the parametric forms of the linear segm...
