Figure 6
Distribution of spiking neurons after presenting the texture input to the model.
A: The light-dark squares in the centre column represent the NxN matrices of neurons of the model. The coloring is as in figure 5. The lines of small white circles denote an entire column of neurons of an NxN matrix. We used N-16 to clearly illustrate the distribution of the spiking pattern. T and B signify top and bottom of the matrix, respectively. Arrows point to the spiking behavior of these neurons. Dotted line demarcates the stimulus. B: The neurons from (A) are here plotted on the y-axis (small, white circles). Each black and grey dot represents a spike from the corresponding neuron on the y-axis. Spikes from neurons from feature map 1 are in black and spikes from feature map 2 neurons in grey.
