p356fig10.03 Laminar computing achieves at least three basic properties of visual processing that have analogs in all biologically intelligent behaviors.  These properties may be found in all cortical circuits in specialized form.<BR>||  What does Laminar Computing achieve? 1. Self-stabilizing development and learning; 2. Seamless fusion of a) pre-attentive automatic bottom-up processing, b) attentive task-selective top-down processing; 3. Analog coherence: Solution of Binding Problem for perceptual grouping without loss of analog sensitivity.  Even the earliest visual cortical stages carry out active adaptive information processing: [learn, group, attention]ing
