Analysis of ocular dominance pattern formation in a high-dimensional self-organizing-map model
نویسنده
چکیده
Using a distortion measure for the states emerging in self-organizing maps (SOMs) we mathematically analyse a recently proposed high-dimensional map formation model for ocular dominance patterns. We calculate critical values of parameters for ocular dominance states to occur, and we determine how the pattern layout depends on these parameters. The analysis reveals an increase of ocular dominance bandwidth with decreasing correlation, consistent with a recently observed increase of bandwidth in strabismic cats. In subsequent simulations these analytical results are corroborated, irrespective of the specific normalization procedure (multiplicative or subtractive) employed in the simulations.

متن کاملAnalyzing the Formation of Structure inHigh - Dimensional Self - Organizing Maps RevealsDi erences to Feature Map
We present a method for calculating phase diagrams for the high-dimensional variant of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM). The method requires only an ansatz for the tesselation of the data space induced by the map, not for the explicit state of the map. Using this method we analyze two recently proposed models for the development of orientation and ocular dominance column maps. The phase transition...

We analyze the pattern formation behaviour of a high-dimensional SelfOrganizing-Map-model for the competitive projection of ON-center-type and OFF-center-type inputs to a common map layer. We mathematically show, and numerically con rm that even isotropic stimuli can drive the development of oriented receptive elds and an orientation map in this model. This result provides an important missing ...

under the title \Models of Ocular Dominance and Orientation Columns." Reused by permission. ABSTRACT The formation of ocular dominance and orientation columns in the mammalian visual cortex is brieey reviewed. Correlation-based models for their development are then discussed, beginning with the models of Von der Malsburg. For the case of semi-linear models, model behavior is well understood: co...
