The Visual System:Feature Detection
ModelLesson 17
Cortical Mechanisms
Primary Visual Cortex - V1 Striate or calcarine cortex
Hubel and Wiesel - Nobel Prize Single cell recording
Feature detection model simple stimuli complex perceptions ~
Feature Detection Model
Visual perception of objects detection of simple features points, lines, corners, curves
Convergence of information retina LGN V1
Primary Visual Cortex (V1) Simple cells complex cells hypercomplex cells ~
Simple Cells Detect lines & edges
not center-surround Best stimulus
bar of light or line particular orientation particular location ~
Simple Cells
LGN neurons RF center-surround converge onto simple cells (V1)
Bar of light APs in simple cell ~

Simple Cells
wrong location or angle doesn’t affect simple cell ~
LGN

Wronglocation
Wrongangle
Complex Cells
In V1 & V2 (secondary visual cortex) Convergence
of LGN & simple cells responds to movement
Best stimulus line or bar Fixed angular orientation Location not as important preferred direction of movement ~

Best stimulus lines of specific length Detect Corners ~
Feature Detection Theory Features = lines & corners
Can it represent a curve?
