A processing stream in mammalian visual cortex neurons for non-Fourier responses

Mammalian striate and circumstriate cortical neurons have long been understood as coding spatially localized retinal luminance variations, providing a basis for computing motion, stereopsis, and contours from the retinal image. However, such perceptual attributes do not always correspond to the retinal luminance variations in natural vision. Recordings from area 17 and 18 neurons of the cat revealed a specialized nonlinear processing stream that responds to stimulus attributes that have no corresponding luminance variations. This nonlinear stream acts in parallel to the conventional luminance processing of single cortical neurons. The two streams were consistent in their preference for orientation and direction of motion but distinct in processing spatial variations of the stimulus attributes.
