Receptive Field Formation In Natural Scene Environments: Comparison of Single Cell Learning Rules

 Brian S. Blais, Harel Shouval, Nathan Intrator and Leon N. Cooper
  
 

Abstract:
We study several statistically and biologically motivated learning rules using the same visual environment and neuronal architecture. This allows us to concentrate on the feature extraction and neuronal coding properties of these rules. We find that the quadratic form of the BCM rule behaves in a manner similar to a kurtosis maximization rule when the distribution contains kurtotic directions, although the BCM modification equations are computationally simpler.
