Spatial phase sensitivity of complex cells in primary visual cortex depends on stimulus contrast.
Neurons in primary visual cortex are classified as simple, which are phase sensitive, or complex, which are significantly less phase sensitive. Previously, we have used drifting gratings to show that the phase sensitivity of complex cells increases at low contrast and after contrast adaptation while that of simple cells remains the same at all contrasts (Cloherty SL, Ibbotson MR. J Neurophysiol...
متن کاملContrast-dependent phase sensitivity in V1 but not V2 of macaque visual cortex.
Some neurons in early visual cortex are highly selective for the position of oriented edges in their receptive fields (simple cells), whereas others are largely position insensitive (complex cells). These characteristics are reflected in their sensitivity to the spatial phase of moving sine-wave gratings: simple cell responses oscillate at the fundamental frequency of the stimulus, whereas this...
متن کاملInfluence of contrast on orientation and temporal frequency tuning in ferret primary visual cortex.
Neurons in primary visual cortex are highly sensitive to the contrast, orientation, and temporal frequency of a visual stimulus. These three stimulus properties can be varied independently of one another, raising the question of how they interact to influence neuronal responses. We recorded from individual neurons in ferret primary visual cortex to determine the influence of stimulus contrast o...
متن کاملBinocular spatial phase tuning characteristics of neurons in the macaque striate cortex.
We employed microelectrode recording techniques to study the sensitivity of individual neurons in the striate cortex of anesthetized and paralyzed monkeys to relative interocular image disparities and to determine the effects of basic stimulus parameters on these cortical binocular interactions. The visual stimuli were drifting sine wave gratings. After the optimal stimulus orientation, spatial...
متن کاملStability of simple – complex classification with contrast and 2 extra - classical receptive field modulation in macaque V 1
39 A key property of neurons in primary visual cortex (V1) is the distinction between simple 40 and complex cells. Recent reports in cat visual cortex indicate the categorization of simple 41 and complex can change depending on stimulus conditions. We investigated the stability of 42 the simple/complex classification with changes in drive produced by either contrast or 43 modulation by the extr...
