Rapid mapping of visual receptive fields by filtered back projection: application to multi-neuronal electrophysiology and imaging
Neurons in the visual system vary widely in the spatiotemporal properties of their receptive fields (RFs), and understanding these variations is key to elucidating how visual information is processed. We present a new approach for mapping RFs based on the filtered back projection (FBP), an algorithm used for tomographic reconstructions. To estimate RFs, a series of bars were flashed across the ...
متن کاملMapping of Visual Receptive Fields by Tomographic Reconstruction
The moving bar experiment is a classic paradigm for characterizing the receptive field (RF) properties of neurons in primary visual cortex (V1). Current approaches for analyzing neural spiking activity recorded from these experiments do not take into account the point-process nature of these data and the circular geometry of the stimulus presentation. We present a novel analysis approach to map...
متن کاملMapping receptive fields in primary visual cortex.
Nearly 40 years ago, in the pages of this journal, Hubel and Wiesel provided the first description of receptive fields in the primary visual cortex of higher mammals. They defined two classes of cortical cells, "simple" and "complex", based on neural responses to simple visual stimuli. The notion of a hierarchy of receptive fields, where increasingly intricate receptive fields are constructed f...
متن کاملBandlimited and Haar filtered back-projection reconstructions
A new way to discretize the filtered back-projection (FBP) algorithm is presented. The function basis is the Haar system (2D product of rectangular windows). This scheme allows one to derive the optimal shape of the apodisation window, which is angle varying, and the oversampling ratio between the pixel and the projection cell size. The discrete equivalent filter is also derived. The comparison...
متن کاملA simple method for creating wide-field visual stimulus for electrophysiology: mapping and analyzing receptive fields using a hemispheric display.
Modern neurophysiological and psychophysical studies of vision are typically based on computer-generated stimuli presented on flat screens. While this approach allows precise delivery of stimuli, it suffers from a fundamental limitation in terms of the maximum achievable spatial coverage. This constraint becomes important in studies that require stimulation of large expanses of the visual field...
