The effect of orientation differences in model neurons. Model neurons were constructed with different RF orientations in the two eyes. The response of these models to corrugations of variable corrugation frequency was then assessed, using the same protocol as we used for real neurons. RM (ordinate) obtained from model simulations is plotted against corrugation frequency (abscissa). Orientation difference between the monocular RFs (0, 20, and 40° for solid, dashed, and dotted lines, respectively) was the only parameter changed between the simulations. Note that a decline in RM at low spatial frequencies only becomes apparent for large orientation differences (40°; open circles).
