A computational study of how orientation bias in the lateral geniculate nucleus can give rise to orientation selectivity in primary visual cortex
Controversy remains about how orientation selectivity emerges in simple cells of the mammalian primary visual cortex. In this paper, we present a computational model of how the orientation-biased responses of cells in lateral geniculate nucleus can contribute to the orientation selectivity in simple...
