One model, one regime, and many phenomena

David Cai

We will present our large-scale computational modeling of the primary visual cortex (V1). In particular, we will discuss network mechanisms underlying spatiotemporal dynamics associated with spontaneous on-going activity of the V1 and the line-motion illusion --- which is the illusory motion sensation from a static cue of a flashed stationary square quickly followed by a stationary bar. Related issues, such as kinetic theory of neuronal network dynamics, will also be addressed.
