Gain control from beyond the classical receptive field in primate primary visual cortex.
Gain control is a salient feature of information processing throughout the visual system. Heeger (1991, 1992) described a mechanism that could underpin gain control in primary visual cortex (V1). According to this model, a neuron's response is normalized by dividing its output by the sum of a population of neurons, which are selective for orientations covering a broad range. Gain control in thi...
متن کاملSeeing beyond the receptive field in primary visual cortex.
Recent studies on the response properties of neurons in primary visual cortex emphasize the dynamics and the complexities of facilitatory and suppressive interactions between the receptive field center and surrounding areas of visual space. These observations raise new questions about the circuitry responsible for receptive field surround effects and their contribution to visual perception.
متن کاملDynamics of receptive field size in primary visual cortex.
Recent studies have shown that the initial responses evoked by a stimulus in neurons of primary visual cortex are dominated by low spatial frequency information in the image, whereas finer spatial scales dominate later in the response. Such phenomena could arise from the dynamics of receptive field (RF) size at early stages of cortical processing. We measured changes in RF size in simple cells ...
متن کاملOrientation-selective inhibition from beyond the classic visual receptive field.
A considerable body of psychophysical literature indicates that the context in which a stimulus occurs can have striking effects on its appearance. In particular, one group of lines can distort the perceived orientation of other lines, as many figural illusions show. This suggests an orientation-selective interaction among contourdetecting cortical units 6,15. By surrounding the receptive field...
متن کاملComplex receptive fields in primary visual cortex.
In the early 1960s, Hubel and Wiesel reported the first physiological description of cells in cat primary visual cortex. They distinguished two main cell types: simple cells and complex cells. Based on their distinct response properties, they suggested that the two cell types could represent two consecutive stages in receptive-field construction. Since the 1960s, new experimental and computatio...
