Simple (N = 284) and complex cells (N = 125) in the central projection area (0-5 degrees eccentricity) of the striate cortex of cats were stimulated with moving light bars and the responses to different directions of movement were recorded and plotted as polar-plots. Fourier analysis was applied to

The response characteristic of visual cortical cells to moving oriented stimuli consists mainly of directional (D) and orientational (O) components superimposed to a spontaneous activity (S). Commonly used polar plot diagrams reflect the maximal responses for different orientations and directions of
Sharpness and symmetry of orientation tuning were quantitatively investigated and compared in ninety-seven cells from areas 17 and 18 of the lightly-anaesthetised feline visual cortex. Halfwidths of orientation tuning at half-height ranged between 5 degrees and 73 degrees for long stimuli, with an e
