Surround modulation

Apparent contrast reduces Detection facilitated Contour pops out

(Series et al. 2003)

Many types of contextual interactions are known

Surround modulation

(Schwabe et al. 2006)

Effects depend strongly on contrast (Hirsch &

Gilbert 1991), (Weliky et al. 1995) and on

distance Distance- related effects match both lateral and feedback connections

Proposed model circuit

(Schwabe et al. 2006)

From Schwabe et al. (2006): High-threshold inhibitory interneurons Long-range excitatory lateral connections Long-range excitatory feedback connections

LISSOM/GCAL SM model

V1 L2/3I V1 L2/3E V1 L4 (Antolik 2010; Antolik & Bednar 2012)

  • LISSOM/GCAL circuit for

surround modulation

  • Separate inhibitory

interneurons

  • Long-range excitatory

lateral connections

  • Separate simple and

complex cell layers

  • Feedback connections in

progress (Philipp Rudiger)

SM model size tuning

(Antolik 2010)

Single-unit response to larger patterns typically increases, then decreases as inhibition is recruited

Diversity in size tuning

(Antolik 2010)

Model matches both typical and unusual size tuning responses

Diversity in OCTC tuning

(Antolik 2010)

Model matches both typical and unusual orientation-contrast tuning types

The Tilt Aftereffect (TAE)

  • Bias in orientation perception after prolonged exposure
  • Allows model structure to be related to adult function
  • Classic explanation: “fatigue” – activated neurons get

tired, shifting the population average away

Measuring perceived orientation

  • = −16.8
  • = +22.5
  • = 0.0
  • = −3.0

Activation OR preference

Neuron 3:

= 0.6

Neuron 1:

Activation OR preference = 0.24

Neuron 2:

Activation OR preference = 1.0 Activation OR preference

Average:

  • Assumption: perception based on population average
  • Vector average good for cyclic quantities
  • Decode perception before and after adaptation

  • Null at zero: More

inhibition, but no net change in perception

  • Direct effect: More

inhibition for angles <10◦ – Perception shifts from 10 to 14◦

  • Indirect effect: Less

inhibition for angles <60◦ – Perception shifts from 60 to 58◦

  • Due to synapses, not

tired neurons!

McCollough effect test pattern

Before adaptation, this pattern should appear monochrome

Adaptation pattern

Stare alternately at the two patterns for 3 minutes, moving your gaze to avoid developing strong afterimages

McCollough effect

(McCollough 1965)

After adaptation:

  • Vertical bars

should be slightly magenta

  • Horizontal bars

should be slightly green

  • The effect should reverse if you tilt your head 90◦,

and disappear if you tilt 45◦.

McCollough effect: data

(Ellis 1977) (Landisman & Ts’o 2002)

2.3×5.3mm macaque V1

  • Effect measured in

humans at each angle between adaptation and test

  • Strength falls off

smoothly with angle

  • V1 is earliest

possible substrate – first area showing OR selectivity; has color map

LISSOM OR + Color map

(Bednar et al. 2005)

  • Orientation map similar to animal maps
  • Color-selective cells occur in blobs
  • Preferences of neurons in each blob?

Calculating McCollough Effect

  • Perceived color estimated as a vector average of all

units

  • Vector direction: + for red-selective units, - for

green-selective units

  • Weighted by activation level and amount of color

selectivity Result is a number from extreme red (positive) to extreme green (negative), with approximately 0 being monochrome.

Summary

  • LISSOM/GCAL can be compatible with actual circuit
  • Reproduces surprising features of surround modulation
  • Afteffects arise from Hebbian adaptation of lateral

connections

  • The same self-organizing processes can drive both

development and adaptation: both structure and function

  • Novel prediction: Indirect effect due to weight

normalization

  • Project: exactly how does inverted Mexican Hat work?
