Normalization of cell responses in cat striate cortex

David J. Heeger · 1 Aug 1992

Simple cells in the striate cortex have been depicted as half-wave-rectified linear operators. Complex cells have been depicted as energy mechanisms, constructed from the squared sum of the outputs of quadrature pairs of linear operators. However, the linear/energy model falls short of a complete explanation of striate cell responses. In this paper, a modified version…

A relationship between behavioral choice and the visual responses of neurons in macaque MT

Kenneth H. Britten, William T. Newsome, Michael N. Shadlen et al. · 1 Jan 1996

We have previously documented the exquisite motion sensitivity of neurons in extrastriate area MT by studying the relationship between their responses and the direction and strength of visual motion signals delivered to their receptive fields. These results suggested that MT neurons might provide the signals supporting behavioral choice in visual discrimination tasks. To approach this…

In search of the visual pigment template

V. I. Govardovskii, Nanna Fyhrquist, Tom Reuter et al. · 1 Jul 2000

Absorbance spectra were recorded by microspectrophotometry from 39 different rod and cone types representing amphibians. reptiles, and fishes, with A1- or A2-based visual pigments and lambdamax ranging from 357 to 620 nm. The purpose was to investigate accuracy limits of putative universal templates for visual pigment absorbance spectra, and if possible to amend the templates…

Responses of neurons in macaque MT to stochastic motion signals

Kenneth H. Britten, Michael N. Shadlen, William T. Newsome et al. · 1 Nov 1993

Dynamic random-dot stimuli have been widely used to explore central mechanisms of motion processing. We have measured the responses of neurons in area MT of the alert monkey while we varied the strength and direction of the motion signal in such displays. The strength of motion is controlled by the proportion of spatiotemporally correlated dots,…

A psychophysically motivated model for two-dimensional motion perception

Hugh R. Wilson, Vincent P. Ferrera, Christopher Yo · 1 Jul 1992

A quantitative model is developed to predict the perceived direction of moving two-dimensional patterns. The model incorporates both a simple motion energy pathway and a "texture boundary motion" pathway that incorporates response squaring before the extraction of motion energy. These pathways correspond to Fourier and non-Fourier motion pathways and are hypothesized to reflect processing in…

Visual Neuroscience template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Visual Neuroscience format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Visual Neuroscience template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Cambridge University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Visual Neuroscience use?
Visual Neuroscience uses Numbered references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, A representative article title, Visual Neuroscience 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Visual Neuroscience?
No. DocuGuru generates the null LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Cambridge University Press-ready Visual Neuroscience document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Visual Neuroscience template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Visual Neuroscience format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Visual Neuroscience?
Visual Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary journal published by Cambridge University Press. DocuGuru's Visual Neuroscience template matches Cambridge University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Visual Neuroscience PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Visual Neuroscience template (the null class) that is ready to submit to Cambridge University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Visual Neuroscience template cost?
You can start writing in the Visual Neuroscience template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Visual Neuroscience PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
