A stochastic model of retinotopy: a self organizing process.
Following Kohonen and using the Hebb principle, we define a self organizing stochastic process, which is a simple modelization of the retinotopy, i.e. the establishment of well-ordered connexions between the retina and the cortex. We give some mathematical results about convergence of this process. These results are illustrated by computer simulations.
