traditional approach: question: how are neurons in the primary visual cortex encoding the visual scene? traditional approach: saturation cross-orientation suppr center-surround suppr luminance, phase, etc gratings natural images

2 important directions: characterize response of neural populations use natural stimuli natural images

Coding of Natural Scenes in Primary Visual Cortex population coding, natural image stimulation: Coding of Natural Scenes in Primary Visual Cortex Weliky, Fiser, Hunt, Wagner Neuron 37: 703-718, (2003).

the setup: anesthetized ferrets multi-electrode cortical surface recorder, ~40 sites flashed gratings, white squares, nat images

model for single cell response CRF white squares, reverse correlation tuning curves sine wave gratings phase insensitive!

output model for single cell response CRF white squares, reverse correlation tuning curves sine wave gratings phase insensitive! model: band-pass filter, localized to CRF output

correlation across all images, all recording sites neurons output

effect of surround modulation on prediction accuracy restrict stimuli to CRF, compare to large-field no effect on site-specific correlation better predictions of pop response for large-field both still badly predicted by local models

in their words, “...we found no significant differences between recorded activity on the surface compared to activity recorded with penetrating electrodes in layer 2/3.” “Although the correlation between local contrast structure and cell responses is modest at the level of individual cortical sites, a very simple population code, derived from activity integrated across cortical sites having retinotopically overlapping receptive fields, represents the local contrast structure of natural scenes very well.” “...our results demonstrate that by integrating across retino topically neighboring recording sites, a significant degree of linearity is restored to the distributed representation of natural scenes in primary visual cortex.” “...our study is a restoration of this original classical model claiming that relevant information for coding natural scenes is in the classical receptive field.”

problems anesthetized ferrets surface recording flashed images, not movies correlation, not percent variance explained predict “retinotopic map”, not neural activity or stimulus identity neurons coding “local contrast structure”? sparseness = efficiency? sparseness, efficiency measures for multiple cell recordings

references/future discussions Vinje and Gallant (2002) stimulation of nCRF with nat-vis movies makes firing sparse and efficient David, Vinje, and Gallant (2004) phase-sep fourier receptive fields are diff for gratings and nat-vis movies Felsen, Touryan, and Dan (2005) quad-pair model doesn’t predict response to naturilistic images Guo, Robertson, Mahmoodi, and Young (2005) surround of nat images modulates response; phase important Smyth, Willmore, Baker, Thompson, Tolhurst (2003) reverse corr invalid for nat stims; reg-inverse more correct, leads to similar receptive fields for gratings and nat images Kayser, Salazar, and Koenig (2003) LFP and spiking show diff activity for broad-band stims, motion important
