Binocular interaction fields of single units in the cat striate cortex

摘要

1. Based on average response histograms to an optimal stimulus, binocular interaction field plots were obtained from twenty-five simple neurones in the striate cortex of the cat. Each binocularly activated cell has two interaction fields, one for each eye. The binocular interaction field for one eye plots the changes in the amplitude of the response from the other eye as the two receptive fields of the binocularly activated cell are moved across one another, first into and then out of alignment in the plane of the optimal stimulus (tangent screen).
