Understanding visual map formation through vortex dynamics of spin Hamiltonian models
The pattern formation in orientation and ocular dominance columns is one of the most investigated problems in the brain. From a known cortical structure, we build spin-like Hamiltonian models with long-range interactions of the Mexican hat type.

Concurrent investigation of global motion and form processing in amblyopia: an equivalent noise approach [PDF]
PURPOSE: Directly comparing the motion and form processing in neurologic disorders has remained difficult due to the limitations in the experimental stimulus.

Circuit Mechanisms Governing Local vs. Global Motion Processing in Mouse Visual Cortex
A withstanding question in neuroscience is how neural circuits encode representations and perceptions of the external world. A particularly well-defined visual computation is the representation of global object motion by pattern direction-selective (PDS)

A neurodynamical model of brightness induction in v1. [PDF]
Brightness induction is the modulation of the perceived intensity of an area by the luminance of surrounding areas. Recent neurophysiological evidence suggests that brightness information might be explicitly represented in V1, in contrast to the more ...

Linking the Laminar Circuits of Visual Cortex to Visual Perception [PDF]
A detailed neural model is being developed of how the laminar circuits of visual cortical areas V1 and V2 implement context-sensitive binding processes such as perceptual grouping and attention, and develop and learn in a stable way.

Brain Differently Changes Its Algorithms in Parallel Processing of Visual Information [PDF]
Feedback from the visual cortex (Vl) to the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN) in macaque monkey increase contrast gain of LGN neurons for black and white (B&W) and for color (C) stimuli.

Spatial properties of neurons in the monkey striate cortex
Contrast sensitivity as a function of spatial frequency was determined for 138 neurons in the foveal region of primate striate cortex. The accuracy of three models in describing these functions was assessed by the method of least squares. Models based on difference-of-Gaussians (DOG) functions were shown to be superior to those based on the Gabor ...
