  • Lessons from the retina
  • Lessons from invertebrates
  • Vast overcompleteness of

V1

  • Non-linearities of cortical neurons
  • Difficulty of predicting neural responses to

time-varying natural images

  • What does a “day in the life of

V1” look like?

  • Explaining away (sparsification)
  • Phase
  • Figure-ground
  • Synchrony
  • Laminar distribution of function (microcircuit)

The Unknown As we know, There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know There are known unknowns. That is to say We know there are some things We do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, The ones we don't know We don't know.
