Figure 4. Optimal CS network characteristics.

Figure 4

Characteristics of optimal CS networks examined using the dependence of relative reconstruction error on network features: a convergence of the sensory-cell (sensory-neuron) to receptor connection matrix Inline graphic, b stimulus strength Inline graphic, c convergence of the sensory-cell connection matrix Inline graphic, d connection strength Inline graphic, e simulation time over which spikes are recorded, f variance of Gaussian noise added to stimulus components, g number of sensory-cells, and h level of randomness in the sensory-cell to receptor connection matrix Inline graphic. In panel a, we normalize the stimulus strength Inline graphic by Inline graphic, the number of nonzero entries in the receptor-to-sensory-neuron connectivity matrix Inline graphic, to keep the amount of drive to a sensory neuron approximately constant when changing convergence. The minimal relative error at the optimal convergence in panel a is approximately equal to 0.35.
