BACKGROUND

The concept of the receptive field
A receptive field is that part of the visual field that a neuron responds to by changing it’s
firing rate if a stimulus is in it.
It’s part of the external world but a property of a neuron.

The receptive field map
Size scales with
•Eccentricity
•Cortical hierarchy
1 degree of visual angle = roughly 1.5 * the area of the thumbnail at arm’s length

Both papers today deal with V1
• V1 in the monkey = Area 17 in Cats/People
• =Striate cortex (Cytoarchitectonically)
• =Primary visual cortex (Functionally)
• RF sizes small. Generally smaller than 1 degree. Foveally smaller than ¼ degree.
• Tuned (Differentially Sensitive) for 6 qualities in the receptive field, including Spatial Frequency and Orientation.

Perception and Memory…
• Introducing memory
• Out of the pan into the fire…
• On the next slide, memorize one of the cards but keep it a secret.
