Spatial pooling in the second-order spatial structure of cortical complex cells
We investigate what computational mechanisms give rise to the nonlinearity of complex cell responses in the primary visual cortex. Complex cells are characterized by their nonlinear spatial properties such as spatial phase invariance and nonlinear spatial additivity. We carried out network simulations to estimate the second-order Wiener-like kernels for several different models. Models with non...
متن کاملSpatial pooling of one-dimensional second-order motion signals.
We can detect visual movements not only from luminance motion signals (first-order motion) but also from non-luminance motion signals (second-order motion). It has been established for first-order motions that the visual system pools local one-dimensional motion signals across space and orientation to solve the aperture problem and to estimate two-dimensional object motion. In this study, we in...
متن کاملSpatial localization: interpolating first- and second-order visual structure.
Human observers are able to localize the relative position of objects defined by Gaussian variations in either luminance (1st order) or contrast (2nd order). However, positional sensitivity is significantly poorer for 2nd- than for 1st-order stimuli. These judgments require the visual system to construct a representation of pertinent variation from a number of individual retinal samples-a proce...
متن کاملIs second-order spatial loss in amblyopia explained by the loss of first-order spatial input?
The purpose of the study was to determine whether amblyopes show detection loss for second-order spatial information, and if present, whether the loss is explained by the loss of first-order spatial input. We psychophysically determined detection thresholds for the amblyopic and non-amblyopic eyes of five adult amblyopes and the dominant eyes of three control observers. We found that four ambly...
متن کاملThe detection of motion in chromatic stimuli: first-order and second-order spatial structure
This study provides evidence for the existence of a low-level chromatic motion mechanism and further elucidates the conditions under which its operation becomes measurable in an experimental stimulus. Observers discriminated the direction of motion of amplitude modulated (AM) gratings that were defined by luminance or chromatic variation and masked with spatiotemporally broadband luminance or c...
