TLDR
It was found that for the most part the orientation specific suppression of the centre response arose from specific areas which corresponded roughly to the inhibitory sidebands described by Henry and Bishop (1971) .About:

Stimulus Specific Responses from Beyond the Classical Receptive Field: Neurophysiological Mechanisms for Local-Global Comparisons in Visual Neurons
TL;DR: The historical development of the evidence of response selectivity for visual stimuli presented beyond the CRF is traced; the anatomical pathways that sub serve these far-reaching surround mechanisms are examined; and the possible relationships between these mechanisms and perception are explored.

Neuronal responses to static texture patterns in area V1 of the alert macaque monkey
James J. Knierim,D. C. Van Essen +1 more
TL;DR: Responses from neurons in area V1 of the alert macaque monkey to textured patterns modeled after stimuli used in psychophysical experiments of pop- out are consistent with a possible functional role of V1 cells in the mediation of perceptual pop-out and in the segregation of texture borders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual cortical mechanisms detecting focal orientation discontinuities
TL;DR: A mechanism integrating orientation-dependent information over adjacent areas of visual space to represent focal orientation discontinuities such as junctions or corners is proposed.

Cortical point-spread function and long-range lateral interactions revealed by real-time optical imaging of macaque monkey primary visual cortex
TL;DR: The usefulness of real-time optical imaging in the study of population activity and the exploration of cortical dendritic processing is described, raising the possibility that distributed processing over a very large cortical area plays a major role in the processing of visual information by the primary visual cortex of the primate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of contextual stimuli on the orientation selectivity of cells in primary visual cortex of the cat.
TL;DR: The results show that the filter characteristics of striate cortical cells are not necessarily fixed, but can be dynamic, changing according to context, and this study modeled a neuronal ensemble encoding orientation.

Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: This method is used to examine receptive fields of a more complex type and to make additional observations on binocular interaction and this approach is necessary in order to understand the behaviour of individual cells, but it fails to deal with the problem of the relationship of one cell to its neighbours.

Receptive fields of single neurones in the cat's striate cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: The present investigation, made in acute preparations, includes a study of receptive fields of cells in the cat's striate cortex, which resembled retinal ganglion-cell receptive fields, but the shape and arrangement of excitatory and inhibitory areas differed strikingly from the concentric pattern found in retinalganglion cells.

Receptive fields and functional architecture in two nonstriate visual areas (18 and 19) of the cat.
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: To UNDERSTAND VISION in physiological terms represents a formidable problem for the biologist, and one approach is to stimulate the retina with patterns of light while recording from single cells or fibers at various points along the visual pathway.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that an occipital evoked potential can be elicited in the human by moving a grating pattern without changing the mean light flux entering the eye.

Single units and sensation: a neuron doctrine for perceptual psychology?
TL;DR: To understand nervous function one needs to look at interactions at a cellular level, rather than either a more macroscopic or microscopic level, because behaviour depends upon the organized pattern of these intercellular interactions.
