"An elegant combination of electronics and elastic materials has been used to construct a small visual sensor that closely resembles an insect's eye. The device paves the way for autonomous navigation of tiny aerial vehicles."

the loop might just be in the nervous system and not make it to the brain at all.

Nice link and clear overview! I like the point raised about 1000 man in space, even when including automation (as far as they could envision at the time). Now that is a future of the space industry and permanent habitation of near-earth orbits! In fact, I can envision just two reasons maybe, power and the hotel industry

Although that's not technically correct. The networks don't actually generate the images, rather the features that get triggered in the network already get amplified through some heuristic. Still fun tho`

Yes, true for the later images, but for the first images they start with random noise and a 'natural image' prior, no? But I guess calling it "hallucinating" might have been more accurate ;)

Loosely related to an old ACT project on optical flow (if I remember correctly but even if not still an interesting read I think): "At first glance, the eyes of mammals and those of insects do not seem to have much in common. However, a comparison of the neural circuits for detecting motion shows surprising parallels between flies and mice. Scientists have learned a lot about the visual perception of both animals in recent years."

A very simple, but very creative application of evolution! Try it with your images. You can read about the first implementation of this kind here: http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/08/12/09/0238252.shtml
