Wang, Gang, Shan Ding, and Kazutomo Yunokuchi. Representation of cardinal contour overlaps less with representation of nearby angles in cat visual cortex. J Neurophysiol 90: 3912-3920, 2003. First published August 20, 2003 10.1152/jn.00219.2003. Extensive attempts have been made to explain the neurobiological basis of the greater sensitivity of the visual system to vertically or horizontally oriented information than to information presented at oblique angles. However, investigators have largely ignored the overlap of the representation of a given angle with the representation of nearby angles. Recordings based on intrinsic optical signals were obtained in area 17 from 12 adult cats during the presentation of contours in various orientations. A method investigating both amplitude and statistical significance of changes was proposed to evaluate the orientation tuning properties for cell populations in the central area retinotopically corresponding to 0 -15°of visual field. Cardinal orientations were found to activate significantly greater areas in the exposed cortical area than the areas activated by oblique orientations. Areas activated by cardinal or oblique contours and those separated from them by 10°were compared. A significantly lower degree of overlap was seen between areas activated by presentation of cardinal contours and areas activated by neighboring orientations compared with those for oblique orientations which overlapped more extensively with neighboring orientations. In addition, areas activated only by cardinal contours were significantly larger than areas activated only by oblique contours. These results demonstrated in cell population level that more cells prefer horizontal or vertical orientations, and these cells are tuned more sharply than oblique selective cells.
There are many defects existed in interactive intelligent power utilization field, such as the human-computer interaction interface is not ideal, and the application scene of geographic technology is simple, and graphical visualization Representation is delayed and the operation is not flexible, and the ability of real-time interaction and user experience are weak, and the ability of warning display is not strong, the paper proposes a visualization representation method, which is based on GIS platform and uses the OpenLayers framework, HTML5 technology and other RIA(rich internet applications) technology to achieve the visualization representation. At the same time, the user experience is enhanced, and the failure and risk can be found out timely.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
