Study Notes
- The text discusses the orientation selectivity of simple cells.
- Simple cells have a preferred orientation and respond best to it.
- They also respond to other similar orientations.
- Some simple cells have ON-center RFs and some have Off-center RFs.
- Some simple cells only have one excitatory and one inhibitory region.
- Simple cells are bar detectors and edge detectors.
- There are three different types of cells in V1.
- Orientation tuning is a characteristic of orientation tuned neurons.
- Simple cells have receptive fields.
- Some simple cells are tuned to vertical bars while others are tuned to 30-degree bars.
- The text discusses measuring activity of ganglion cells in the retina.
- Ganglion cells have baseline activity before any stimulus is applied.
- Experimenters try to find a stimulus that changes the activity of the ganglion cell.
- The response of the ganglion cell is measured in terms of action potentials.
- An increase in the frequency of action potentials indicates an increase in response.
- The activity of ganglion cells is measured over time.
- Ganglion cells are located in the retina.
