Abstract.
A correlation-based learning (CBL) neural network model is proposed, which simulates the emergence of grating cells as well as some of their response characteristics to periodic pattern stimuli. These cells, found in areas V1 and V2 of the visual cortex of monkeys, respond vigorously and exclusively to bar gratings of a preferred orientation and periodicity. Their non-linear behaviour differentiates grating cells from other orientation-selective cells, which show linear spatial frequency filtering.
