视网膜神经节细胞是否将自然景物投射到它们的主要子空间,并将它们重新定位?

Do retinal ganglion cells project natural scenes to their principal subspace and whiten them?

摘要:

早期感觉加工的几个理论表明,它使感觉刺激变白。在这里,我们测试三个关键的预测美白理论使用记录从152神经节细胞在蝾螈视网膜响应自然电影。我们证实了先前的发现,即神经节细胞的放电率与自然场景相比相关性较低,尽管仍然存在显著的相关性。我们发现,虽然神经节细胞的功率谱衰减不太陡比自然场景,它不是完全平坦的。最后,我们发现的证据表明,只有顶部的视觉刺激的主成分被传输。

英文摘要:

Several theories of early sensory processing suggest that it whitens sensory stimuli. Here, we test three key predictions of the whitening theory using recordings from 152 ganglion cells in salamander retina responding to natural movies. We confirm the previous finding that firing rates of ganglion cells are less correlated compared to natural scenes, although significant correlations remain. We show that while the power spectrum of ganglion cells decays less steeply than that of natural scenes, it is not completely flattened. Finally, we find evidence that only the top principal components of the visual stimulus are transmitted.
