Recursive features of circular receptive fields

G Hartmann

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Recursive functions may model retinal receptive fields, suggesting a recursive visual system. This offers identical neuronal circuitry for different spatial frequencies across visual processing stages, from retina to cortex.
