Computer Modeling the Neurophysiology of Vision.
Abstract
The pertinent points of visual neurophysiology and neuroanatomy are reviewed with particular emphasis on how retinal light distributions result in perceived phenomena. The neural modeling techniques used at the Naval Postgraduate School are described. These stem from a basic model capable of calculating the postsynaptic potential and spike outputs for any sequence of excitatory and inhibitory inputs. More advanced programs model facilitation, fatigue, and narrow band motion detection. The most advanced program models lateral inhibition in an eight neuron linear array.
