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

The optimal direction of lines in the visual field to which neurons in the visual cortex respond changes in a regular way when the recording electrode progresses tangentially through the cortex (Hubel and Wiesel, 1962). It is possible to reconstruct the field of orientations from long, sometimes mul
Recent experiments have studied the development of orientation selectivity in normal animals, visually deprived animals, and animals where patterns of neuronal activity have been altered. Results of these experiments indicate that orientation tuning appears very early in development, and that normal
