  1. A Geometric Model of V1 Neural Selectivity Collaborators: Simon Prince (UCL) Bob Hou (York) Stephen David (Maryland) Jack Gallant (Berkeley) James Elder York University Toronto, Canada

  2. Hubel & Wiesel, c. 1968

  3. Simple Cell: Standard Model (Hubel & Wiesel 1959, Movshon et al., 1978,…)

  4. Hubel & Wiesel, c. 1968

  5. Energy Model of Complex Cells (Movshon et al., 1978, Adelson & Bergen, 1985)

  6. Stimuli: Gratings (Movshon et al., 1978; Ringach et al., 1997; …)

  7. Simple and Complex Cell Populations in V1 (Skottun et al., 1991) ‘simple’ ‘complex’

  8. The distribution of cells in V1 forms a continuum from ‘purely simple’ to ‘purely complex’ (Movshon et al., 1978; Dean & Tolhurst, 1983; Mechler & Ringach, 2002, Priebe et al., 2004; Mata & Ringach, 2005). Intermediate cells are not well-approximated by standard models for either extreme. In the monkey, spike-triggered covariance analysis suggests convergence of multiple spatially shifted subunits (Rust et al., 2005). Under natural viewing conditions, neuronal responses deviate from predictions of model (David et al., 2004). Limitations of the Standard Models

  9. Natural Scene Stimuli (Gallant et al. 2002; Ringach et al. 2002;…)

  10. Neural Data (Gallant Lab, Berkeley) • Extracellular activity recorded from parafoveal V1 in awake behaving male macaque.

  12. Natural images are lowpass Estimated receptive fields must be normalized by the stimulus autocorrelation matrix to to correct for second-order correlations in the stimuli. Normalization must be regularized to limit noise Normalization (Theunissen et al., 2001; Willmore & Smyth, 2003)

  13. Fourier Power Model (David et al., 2004)

  14. Phase-Separated Fourier Model (David et al., 2004)

  16. In the monkey, spike-triggered covariance analysis suggests convergence of multiple spatially-shifted subunits (Rust et al., 2005). Receptive fields are difficult to interpret Limitations of Fourier Methods

  20. Tangent Field

  21. Tangent support fields: computer vision (Zucker et al., 1980s) • Applications: • Contour analysis • Texture analysis • Shading analysis

  22. Tangent support fields: natural image statistics Sequence statistics (Elder & Goldberg, 2002) Set statistics (Geisler et al., 2001)

  26. Natural image sequence Gradient magnitude and direction R2S1 representation Cell response (spikes) Reverse correlation on the R2S1 representation Time

  27. We correct for stimulus bias over time using an SVD method that zeros coefficients associated with small eigenvalues (Theunissen et al., 2001; David et al., 2004) over space using regularized normalization (ridge regression: Press et al., 1992; Willmore & Smyth 2003) Normalization

  38. A geometric model for V1 neural selectivity A unified framework for modeling cells over the full range of the simple/complex continuum. Allows spatial subunit structure to be expressed Visualization is intuitive and evocative Provides a bridge to geometric computations required for perceptual organization, shape perception, etc. May generalize to extrastriate areas Summing Up

  44. Linear Cannot represent invariance to position, phase, contrast polarity What are the equivalence classes? FFT Cannot represent specificity to position, phase, contrast polarity, (curvature ?),… What are the equivalence classes PSFFT Represents a continuum between linear and FFT Allows representation of intermediate neurons Is this the ‘natural’ continuum or manifold? What does ‘intermediate’ mean here? Can we represent partial invariances? Can’t represent ‘tolerances’ in stimulus properties (e.g., position, phase, …) Can’t represent spatial substructure of complex cells Model Comparison

  45. R2S3 model Can represent invariances semi-locally Can represent tolerances in selectivity to stimulus features Can represent spatial substructure of complex cells Still cannot represent strong spatial interactions Model Comparison
