Abstract(in English) In spite of fact that visual information in the left and right visual fields are received by separate cortical hemispheres we are able to obtain a completely seamless perception of the world. It is assumed that this is because the visual cortex stitches together visual information of both hemi-fields via corpus callosum. To investigate the role of early,visual neurons for binding left and right hemi-fields, we characterized the receptive field properties of neurons recorded simultaneously across the hemispheres using a reverse correlation method. We found that sub-regions of the paired neurons show various response polarities, where the overlaps were observed not only for ON-ON or OFF-OFF, but also for ON-OFF combinations.
