Simulating reaction time for Eureka effect in visual object recognition using artificial neural networkKazufumi Hosoda, Shigeto Seno, Tsutomu Murata
The human brain can recognize objects hidden in even severely degraded images after observing them for a while, which is known as a type of Eureka effect, possibly associated with human creativity. A previous psychological study suggests that the basis of this "Eureka recognition" is neural processes of coincidence of multiple stochastic activities. Here we constructed an artificial-neural-network-based model that simulated the characteristics of the human Eureka recognition.
