Abstract

A self-organising neural network is presented that is based on a rigorous\nBayesian analysis of the information contained in individual neural firing\nevents. This leads to a visual cortex network (VICON) that has many of the\nproperties emerge when a mammalian visual cortex is exposed to data arriving\nfrom two imaging sensors (i.e. the two retinae), such as dominance stripes and\norientation maps.\n
