Theoretical support for paper

A very good exploratory investigation. They speak of circles on the retina being transformed into straight line on the striate cortex. The process is a bit more complicated. Semicircles within the left or right half of the field of view and centered on the point of fixation, are transformed into nominally straight lines on the appropriate hemisphere of the cortex based on a known Riemann Transform implemented via anatomical computation. The details are to be found in Section 15.6.6.2 of Chapter 15 of "Processes in Biological Vision" http://neuronresearch.net...
