Abstract

Zhou et al. had found through physiological experiments that in early visual system there are cells encoding the side of the object to which local contour-elements belong, and they called this way of representation "border-ownership coding" (Zhou et al., 2000). This study shows that a simple neural network model supposing early visual system can encode border-ownership. We confirmed that the cells in our model exhibited responses similar to the cells coding border-ownership found by Zhou et al. by computer simulation
