Abstract
A purely feedforward model has been shown to produce realistic simple cell receptive fields (RFs). The modeled cells capture a wide range of receptive field properties of orientation selective cortical cells in the primary visual cortex. We have analyzed the responses of 72 nearby cell pairs to study which RF properties are clustered. Orientation preference shows strongest clustering and RF phase the least clustering. Our results agree well with experimental data (DeAngelis et al, 1999, Swindale et al, 2003).
