Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A novel model for spatio-temporal receptive fields of V1 simple neurons is proposed by introducing fractional order derivatives. We consider the computational role of V1 simple neurons, and derive physiologically acceptable and theoretically optimal image-bases representing retinal images. The image-bases are derived as solutions of a variational problem which formulates the necessities of visual processing by V1 neurons. Using the derived image-bases, a new mathematical model for spatio-temporal receptive fields is derived. A model for binocular V1 neurons selective to spatial disparities and motion directions is also presented. We evaluate the plausibility of these models using actual data given by electro-physiological experiments.
