Accordingly, successive stimulations that proceed across the complex receptive field are required to elicit a sustained response; thereby, producing motion selectivity. Soc for Neurosci Abstract, 20: 1053. Eur. However, it is rarely studied in deep learning because evaluating the illusory contour perception of models trained for complex vision tasks is not straightforward. Most neurons showed this sensitivity independent of the contrast polarity that the stimuli induced at the contour, the remainder preferred a certain combination of figure-ground direction and contrast polarity. Perception and Psychophysics 34: 403404. 11:4024-4036. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics 13: 882887.

However, the processes of grouping these local cell responses together are still hardly understood. We characterized a cell's illusory contour responsiveness, or its illusory contour response, by the following two modulation indices: IC1 5 (Ri 2 Ra)y(Ri 1 Ra) and IC2 5 (Ri 2 Rr)y(Ri 1 Rr), where Ri is the response to the illusory contour, Ra is the response to the amodal condition, and Rr is the response to the Fig. I.

[2][3], Hubel and Wiesel would later call this cell a complex cell, incorporating it into a hierarchy of subsequently discovered visual processing cells, which included the centre-surround, simple, complex, and hypercomplex cells (distinguishable by receptive fields) [4], Following their initial finding, Hubel and Wiesel discovered the presence of a variety of visual processing cells, each with unique receptive field properties. Illusory contours or subjective contours are a form of visual illusion where contours are perceived without a luminance or color change across the contour.

In order to explain illusory contour formation, they introduce a bipole cell that forms the illusory contour. The optimal stimulus for any end-stopped cell is one of a limited length.
