How close are we to understanding V1?
BA Olshausen, DJ Field - Neural computation, 2005 - direct.mit.edu
A wide variety of papers have reviewed what is known about the function of primary visual
cortex. In this review, rather than stating what is known, we attempt to estimate how much is …

Mapping receptive fields in primary visual cortex
DL Ringach - The Journal of Physiology, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Image statistics and the perception of surface qualities
The world is full of surfaces, and by looking at them we can judge their material qualities.
Properties such as colour or glossiness can help us decide whether a pancake is cooked, or …

Spectro-temporal modulation transfer function of single voxels in the human auditory cortex measured with high-resolution fMRI
M Schönwiesner, RJ Zatorre - Proceedings of the National …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Are visual and auditory stimuli processed by similar mechanisms in the human cerebral
cortex? Images can be thought of as light energy modulations over two spatial dimensions …

The contribution of spike threshold to the dichotomy of cortical simple and complex cells
The existence of two classes of cells, simple and complex, discovered by Hubel and Wiesel
in 1962, is one of the fundamental features of cat primary visual cortex. A quantitative …

A computational theory of visual receptive fields
T Lindeberg - Biological cybernetics, 2013 - Springer
A receptive field constitutes a region in the visual field where a visual cell or a visual
operator responds to visual stimuli. This paper presents a theory for what types of receptive …

Visual receptive field structure of cortical inhibitory neurons revealed by two-photon imaging guided recording
Synaptic inhibition plays an important role in shaping receptive field (RF) properties in the
visual cortex. However, the underlying mechanisms remain not well understood, partly …

Saccades and drifts differentially modulate neuronal activity in V1: effects of retinal image motion, position, and extraretinal influences
In natural vision, continuously changing input is generated by fast saccadic eye movements
and slow drifts. We analyzed effects of fixational saccades, voluntary saccades, and drifts on …
