Dynamic Response to Step Increase in Light Intensity

1) Start in constant, low level light. Step increase in intensity for 2 sec. Decrease back to previous level. 2) Decrement in light intensity generates the reverse (mirror image) Time invariant, linear system. Good fit to curve predicted from convolution

Spike Triggered Reverse Average

  • Determine the average (most likely) stimulus waveform preceding a spike.
  • Measured by “spike-triggered averaging” with a white noise stimulus.
  • Revcor functions of low-CF auditory-nerve fibers resemble the impulse response
  • f a bandpass filter centered at the CF.
  • Fourier transforms of revcor functions match the tip of pure-tone tuning curves
  • ver a wide range of noise levels.
  • The revcor is an estimate of the crosscorrelation between stimulus and

response.

Reverse correlation and Wiener filters

  • Given a linear system, the crosscorrelation of the response r(t)

with a stationary, white noise input w(t) is proportional to the system’s impulse response h(t):

  • The revcor is an estimate of the Wiener filter in the special

case when r(t) consists of impulses (spikes). ( ) ( )

Using Sine Wave Stimuli

  • --Amplitude is multiplied by the

gain

  • --Phase is delayed or advanced

(add phase shift to sine wave) Amplitude and phase are different for different frequencies.

22

Do this for all relevant frequencies

Stimulate at all relevant frequencies with sinewave stimuli. Measure gain and phase

Lateral Inhibition also occurs in vertebrate retina

Receptive Field of Mammalian Ganglion Cell (S. Kuffler, 1953)

40

Lateral inhibition can be included in model

Linear cascade from one cell converts light to spike frequency. Spikes from one cell inhibit neighbors (lateral inhibition). Inhibition is mutual (varies with distance)

Steady State Response

What is the response to a point of light. Center (immediately over the eccentric cell): excitation. Surround (adjacent areas): inhibition.

Lessons from Visual Coding

1. The goal: understand sensory coding. Vision: example of “frequency code”. 2. Visual processing includes:

1. transduction, 2. encoding

3. Adaptation can be thought of as self inhibition. 4. Most sensory neurons behave as temporal filters: adaptation (tonic vs. phasic) 5. Linear systems analysis can also be used to describe spatial effects such as lateral inhibition. 6. Convolution can be used to predict responses to arbitrary stimuli.
