Neuronal selectivity for multiple features in the primary visual cortex

Wenqing Wei, Benjamin Merkt, Stefan Rotter

The paper models how neurons in the primary visual cortex integrate retinal inputs to produce feature-specific responses through a two-step process involving random projections and spike threshold rectification.
