GaborME.0.0.sh.tq

2008 Aug 2

Summary   This is a spatially half-size, temporally quarter-size variant of the standard GaborME.0.0 model. The spatial Gabor filter was constructed using a Gaussian SD that is 1/2 as wide and a spatial frequency that is double that of the standard model. The temporal Gabor filter was constructed using a Gaussian SD that is one quarter as long and a temporal frequency that is four times that of the standard model.

GaborME.0.0.sh.tq.mod

Results

Results are similar to those for GaborME.0.0, except that the peak of the SF tuning curves is one octave higher, and that of the TF tuning curve is two octaves higher.

Discussion

The gain before the Poisson spike generation is set to 16 times that of the standard model, to account for the factor of two shrinkage of the linear filter in two spatial dimensions and the quartering of the temporal dimension. The RF is small at the spatial resolution of the model (0.1 deg/pix), but is well within the Nyquist limit.
