Figure 3. Comparison of optimized performance to real VS cell performance.

Figure 3

Response of a real VS cell (A) and two optimized model neurons (B, C) to a similar stimulation protocol is shown. The protocol consists of no motion, preferred-direction motion and null-direction motion. The responses of the models neurons and the real VS cell are similar. We did not directly optimize for this similarity and the high resemblance is an emergent property corroborating the hypothesis of VS performing wide-field motion integration. (Voltage data in A by H.
