Distribution of spiking neurons after presenting four outlines to the model.
A: The lines of small white circles denote an entire column of neurons of the NxN matrix of the model from the different layers. We used N-16 to clearly illustrate the distribution of the spiking pattern. Arrows point to the spiking behavior of these neurons. Coding is as in figure 5. 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.
