Spatial and temporal reverse correlation

Spatial and reverse correlation are two reverse correlation techniques that I developed to analyze the spatial and temporal structure of the response of direction selective cells to small moving stimuli, presented one at the time at several locations in the visual field. The data here shown has been collected from areas ML and L in the California ground squirrel.

Figures and movies

• Uniform direction selectivity
• Two preferred directions with double peaked tuning
• Two preferred directions with decrease in response
• Gradual change in preferred direction
• Another case of gradual change in preferred direction
• Short vs. long bars
