Coding model of visual stimuli in the optic nerve

Abstract

Electrophysiological records are a standard procedure in the study of neuronal coding in the visual system. In this paper we propose a model that can predict the electrophysiological record of electrical activity in the optic nerve evoked by visual stimuli projected on the retina. This development contemplates certain processes of coding the visual information realized in retina and how it is spread by the nerve fibers that compose the optic nerve. The results reveal that the response of the model is adequately adjusted to the experimentally obtained potentials.
