--- abstract: "A model is proposed to demonstrate how neurons in the primary visual cortex could self-organize to represent the direction of motion. The model is based on a temporal extension of the Self-Organizing Map where neurons act as leaky integrators. The map is trained with moving Gaussian inputs, and it develops a retinotopic map with orientation columns that divide into areas of opposite direction selectivity, as found in the visual cortex.\n\n" altloc: - http://www.richmond.edu/~ifarkas/Papers/icann99.ps.gz chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks confloc: 'Edinburgh, Scotland' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Farkas given: Igor honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Miikkulainen given: Risto honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1999 date_type: published datestamp: 2001-11-23 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/19/13 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 1913 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_postscript.png;/1913/1/icann99.ps.gz full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'directional selectivity, self-organzing map, leaky intergators, primary visual cortex' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:49 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 251-256 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 8 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:41:41 subjects: - comp-sci-neural-nets - neuro-mod succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Modeling the self-organization of directional selectivity in the primary visual cortex type: confpaper userid: 2419 volume: ~
