A mathematical model of the primary visual cortex is presented. Basically, the model comprises two features. Firstly, in analogy with the principle of the computerized tomography (CT), it assumes that simple cells in each hypercolumn are not merely detecting line segments in images as features, but

It has been hypothesized that visual mental imagery and visual perception share the same processing systems in the brain. Evidence from ERP and PET studies examining this hypothesis is conflicting. In this study we investigated whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the occipital pole
The determination of the direction of heading from optic flow is a complicated task. To solve it the visual system complements the optic flow by non-visual information about the occurrence of eye movements. Psychophysical studies have shown that the need for this combination depends on the structure
Two days of monocular deprivation (MD) of kittens during a critical period of development is known to produce a loss of visual responses in the primary visual cortex to stimulation of the nondeprived eye, and 7 days of deprivation results in retraction of axon branches and loss of presynaptic sites
