Abstract:
In this protocol, we present a procedure to analyze and visualize models of neuronal input-output functions that have a quadratic, a linear and a constant term, to determine their overall behavior. The suggested interpretations are close to those given by physiological studies of neurons, making the proposed methods particularly suitable for the analysis of receptive fields resulting from physiological measurements or model simulations.
