Abstract
During the course of information processing, a visual system extracts characteristic information of the visual image and integrates the spatial and temporal visual information simultaneously. In this study, we investigate the integration effect of neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1 area) under the grating stimulation. First, an information integration model was established based on the receptive field properties of the extracted features of the visual images features, the interaction between neurons and the nonlinear integration of those neurons. Then the neuropsychological experiments were designed both to provide parameters for the model and to verify its effect. The experimental results with factual visual image were largely consistent with the model’s forecast output. This demonstrates that our model can truly reflect the integration effect of the primary visual system when being subjected to grating stimulations with different orientations. Our results indicate the primary visual system integrates the visual information in the following manner: it first extracts visual information through different types of receptive field, and then its neurons interact with each other in a non-linear manner, finally the neurons fire spikes recorded as responses to the visual stimulus.
