Uncomfortable images produce non-sparse responses in a model of primary visual cortex
The processing of visual information by the nervous system requires significant metabolic resources. To minimize the energy needed, our visual system appears to be optimized to encode typical natural images as efficiently as possible. One consequence of this is that some atypical images will produce inefficient, non-optimal responses. Here, we show that images that are reported to be uncomforta...
متن کاملThe dynamics of visual responses in the primary visual cortex.
There is a transformation in behavior in the visual system of cats and primates, from neurons in the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN) that are not tuned for orientation to orientation-tuned cells in primary visual cortex (V1). The visual stimuli that excite V1 can be well controlled, and the thalamic inputs to V1 from the LGN have been measured precisely. Much has been learned about basic princ...
متن کاملSynchronization of neuronal responses in primary visual cortex of monkeys viewing natural images.
When inspecting visual scenes, primates perform on average four saccadic eye movements per second, which implies that scene segmentation, feature binding, and identification of image components is accomplished in <200 ms. Thus individual neurons can contribute only a small number of discharges for these complex computations, suggesting that information is encoded not only in the discharge rate ...
متن کاملImages of Illusory Motion in Primary Visual Cortex
Illusory motion can be generated by successively flashing a stationary visual stimulus in two spatial locations separated by several degrees of visual angle. In appropriate conditions, the apparent motion is indistinguishable from real motion: The observer experiences a luminous object traversing a continuous path from one stimulus location to the other through intervening positions where no ph...
متن کاملRetinotopic distribution of chromatic responses in human primary visual cortex.
In non-human primates at least three anatomically and functionally distinct channels convey signals from the retina to the primary visual cortex (V1). Two of these channels, the parvocellular and the koniocellular, are sensitive to chromatic contrasts and form the basis of color vision. In humans, common phylogenetic history with other primates and psychophysical experiments suggest identical r...
