Development of Columnar Structures in Visual Cortex

Year: 2002

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Many features of visual scenes are represented in the visual cortex in the form of maps. The best studied of these are the maps of features such as ocular dominance and orientation in primary visual cortex (V1). The beautifully regular structure of these maps and their dependence on patterns of neural activity have inspired several different computational models. In this chapter we focus on what can be explained by models based on the idea of optimising a trade-off between coverage and continuity, in particular the elastic net.
