Simple cells in the striate cortex have been depicted as half-wave-rectified linear operators.
Complex cells have been depicted as energy mechanisms, constructed from the squared …

This volume presents an integrated view of how we perceive the spatial relations in our
visual world, covering anatomical, physiological, psychophysical, and perceptual aspects …

Theoretical neuroscience provides a quantitative basis for describing what nervous systems
do, determining how they function, and uncovering the general principles by which they …

A motion sequence may be represented as a single pattern in x–y–t space; a velocity of
motion corresponds to a three-dimensional orientation in this space. Motion sinformation …

We measured the spatial frequency contrast sensitivity of cells in the primate striate cortex at
two different eccentricities to provide quantitative statistics from a large population of cells …

The variability of the discharge of visual cortical neurons in cats and macaque monkeys
limits the reliability with which such neurons can relay signals about weak visual stimuli. In …

Simple cells in the primary visual cortex often appear to compute a weighted sum of the light
intensity distribution of the visual stimuli that fall on their receptive fields. A linear model of …

Presented as a series of lectures, this important volume achieves four major goals: 1) It
integrates the results of the author's research as applied to pattern perception--reviewing …

TUMOUR necrosis factor (TNF), jointly referring to TNF α and TNF β, is a central mediator of
immune and inflammatory responses; its activities are mediated by two distinct receptors …

1. We have examined the responses of simple cells in the cat's atriate cortex to visual
patterns that were designed to reveal the extent to which these cells may be considered to …
