Emergent Orientation Maps —— Mechanisms, Coding Efficiency and Robustness

ICLR 2025spotlight

Extensive experimental studies have shown that in lower mammals, neuronal orientation preference in the primary visual cortex is organized in disordered "salt-and-pepper" organizations. In contrast, higher-order mammals display a continuous variation in orientation preference, forming pinwheel-like…

Visual Pinwheel Centers Act as Geometric Saliency Detectors

NeurIPS 2024poster

During natural evolution, the primary visual cortex (V1) of lower mammals typically forms salt-and-pepper organizations, while higher mammals and primates develop pinwheel structures with distinct topological properties. Despite the general belief that V1 neurons primarily serve as edge detectors, t…
