Visual Representation Model for Motion Direction Selectivity

Wang, X. and Jin, J.S.

In this paper we proposed a visual representation model for motion direction selectivity in the Superior Colliculus (SC) with a fuzzy neural networks system. The SC is a midbrain nucleus that contains a number of horizontally oriented cellular layers receiving and integrating information from the visual, auditory and somatosensory systems. The discharge of cells in the superficial layer of the SC is tightly linked to the direction of visual motion. The availability of a biologically plausible computational model of the SC may open the door for the modeling of cognitive interactions with visual sensory systems. We have simulated the model and the outputs are in line with those observed physiologically.
