Retinal Sampling, Feature Detection and Saccades; (2008)

Neil Thacker, Charles Leek

This paper applies statistical design principles to a simple biological model of human vision so that we can more clearly interpret the apparent role of eye saccades. In doing so we show that many...

A study of the cortical processing of ano-rectal sensation using functional MRI (2001)

Hobday, David I., Aziz, Qasim, Thacker, Neil, Hollander, Igor, Jackson, Alan, Thompson, David G.

Investigation of human ano-rectal physiology has concentrated largely on understanding the motor control of defecation and continence mechanisms. However, little is known of the physiology of...

Algorithmic Modeling for Performance Evaluation (1997)

Patrick Courtney, Neil Thacker, Adrian Clark

Introduction Many of the vision algorithms described in the literature are tested on a very small number of images. It is generally agreed that algorithms need to be tested on much larger numbers if...
