The growing needs in computational power to answer to the increasing number of on-line services and the complexity of applications makes it mandatory to build corresponding hardwar...
We propose a novel model of visual contrast measurement based on segregated ON and OFF pathways. Two driving forces have shaped our investigation: (1) establishing a mechanism sele...
Today, critical infrastructures like the power grid are essentially physical processes controlled by computers connected by networks. They are usually as vulnerable as any other i...
