Abstract
A simple model is shown to account for a large range of V1 classical, and nonclassical, receptive field properties including orientation tuning, spatial and temporal frequency tuning, cross-orientation suppression, surround suppression, and facilitation and inhibition by flankers and textured surrounds. The model is an implementation of the predictive coding theory of cortical function and thus provides a single computational explanation for a diverse range of neurophysiological findings. Furthermore, since predictive coding can be related to the biased competition theory and is a specific example of more general theories of hierarchical perceptual inference, the current results relate V1 response properties to a wider, more unified, framework for understanding cortical function.
