Transformation of Stimulus Correlations by the Retina
Figure 2
Retinal ganglion cell receptive fields measured using a multi-electrode array.
(A) Receptive field locations of 31 cells recorded simultaneously from guinea pig retina. Each curve shows the 70% contour line of one receptive field. Scale bar is 200 µm. (B) Best-fitting temporal kernels for 75 cells, clustered into four classes. Classes were obtained by manually clustering temporal filters on the basis of the projection onto their first three principal components. (C) Maximum likelihood estimates of spatio-temporal receptive fields (STRFs) for an example cell. STRFs were computed separately using responses to white noise (left) or exponential spatio-temporally correlated stimuli (right). Scale bar is 200 µm.
