title: Online learning and stimulus-driven responses of neurons in visual cortex.
abstract: In understanding how visual scene is processed in visual cortex, it has been an intriguing problem for theoretical and experimental neuroscientists to examine the relationship between visual stimuli and the induced responses of visual cortex. In particular, it is less explored whether and how the collective responses of visual neurons are patterned to reflect the geometrical regularities. In this paper, through a computation model and statistical analysis, we show that the orientation preference maps induced from correlated visual stimuli exhibit geometrical regularities similar as observed in natural images.
