The award includes a cash prize, a certificate and a medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Titled \u201cA Biologically Inspired Neural Network for Colour Representation,\u201d the research was part of Mehrani\u2019s PhD dissertation and addressed computational modelling of early colour vision processing in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Little is currently known in colour processing about how the brain represents a diverse set of colours and in which of the visual areas of the brain this occurs. When sensory input enters the eye, it reaches the retina at the back of the eye which contains photoreceptors commonly known as cone cells. These photoreceptors can distinguish between the colours \u2013 or more accurately between long, medium and short (LMS) wavelengths of light \u2013 roughly corresponding to red, green and blue, respectively. These photoreceptors convert the sensory information into electrical signals which then travel along the optical nerve to the brain, first to the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus and finally to the visual cortex. However, beyond knowing how red, green and blue are distinguished, earlier models for visual processing could not explain the observed neuronal responses in later processing stages in the visual cortex and therefore, how the brain achieves the observed colour encoding remained unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the visual cortex has many different areas that are connected to each other, and each has many different layers, the signal goes through multiple visual stages of processing. Mehrani introduced an analytically defined neural network that implements a biologically plausible transformation from light to a diverse set of colours (hues) and modeled the different processing stages from the input layer to different areas of the visual cortex, from visual area 1 (v1) and ending at visual area 4 (v4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were able to show how the visual signal translates from input to hierarchically producing a diverse set of hues,\u201d said Mehrani.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Huenet-architecture.png\" alt=\"The HueNet architecture.

Each layer implements neurons in a single brain area. The leftmost layer shows the input to the network with L, M, and S cone activations. As the visual signal moves in the hierarchy, multiplicative modulations in the mV2 layer enable a diverse set of hue representations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the theories in colour research suggests that the visual system processes signals from cone cells in an antagonistic manner. That is, rather than just detecting the response of each type of LMS cone individually, it is more efficient for the visual system to instead have neurons that record differences between pairs of cones: red vs. green, blue vs. yellow and so on. This theory is called the opponent process. Mehrani\u2019s research proposes that these opponent neurons are modulated nonlinearly (multiplicatively) as the signals pass through the layers. Testing their model, they found responses of the artificial neurons resemble those of biological colour cells and thus presented a viable formulation of the brain\u2019s colour processing pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This body of work helps researchers build better models for colour representation. For example, while TVs, computer displays and HTML web designers already use the RGB model to represent a broad array of colours, this colour space does not perfectly describe reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we understand how the brain itself sees colour, we are able to utilize this neurophysiological knowledge to create better representations that more closely match how we really see the world,\u201d says Mehrani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After obtaining a BSc from Tehran Polytechnic University and an MSc at Western University, she joined Tsotsos\u2019 lab for her PhD. Initially, she had no idea about the visual areas of the brain nor any of the processes they perform. \u201cMy degrees were all in computer science,\u201d says Mehrani. \u201cThe last biology course I took was in high school.\u201d But the thrill and joy of making new discoveries in such a groundbreaking field brought her motivation to expand her knowledge. Along with that motivation, was having a supportive PhD supervisor, mentor, and role model in Tsotsos. \u201cHe always wants the best for his students,\u201d says Mehrani. \u201cKnowing that has eased my journey in graduate school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have a seven-year-old son. During the pandemic, it was very challenging to have a kid that young while also trying to work from home. My solution was to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to work without interruption. John (Tsotsos) gave me that flexibility and supported me throughout the years until I finished my PhD.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe is a model young scientist, an inspiration for new students,\u201d says Tsotsos. \u201cNeedless to say, I am immensely proud of her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-020-64969-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article in Scientific Reports<\/a> last year has sparked new collaborations with senior neuroscientists in the U.S. and Germany. Although continuing to work in this area, Mehrani is also looking to shift gears during her postdoctoral fellowship to focus on learning in the context of vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a scientist, you must always remain curious,\u201d says Mehrani. \u201cThe joy of new discoveries should be your main drive in making progress because research is not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>aria Mehrani, a recent York University graduate and current postdoctoral visitor at the Lassonde School of Engineering, has won the Colour Research Society of Canada (CRSC) 2021 Student Award for Graduate Students.
