Download or read book Computational Maps in the Visual Cortex written by Risto Miikkulainen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-10-10 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 30 years, the visual cortex has been the source of new theories and ideas about how the brain processes information. The visual cortex is easily accessible through a variety of recording and imagining techniques and allows mapping of high level behavior relatively directly to neural mechanisms. Understanding the computations in the visual cortex is therefore an important step toward a general theory of computational brain theory.
