We find that the learned functions trained on image sequences develop many properties found also experimentally in complex cells of primary visual cortex, such as direction selectivity, non-orthogonal inhibition, end-inhibition and side-inhibition. Our results demonstrate that a single unsupervised learning principle can account for such a rich repertoire of receptive field properties. date: 2003-01 date_type: published refereed: FALSE citation: Berkes, Pietro and Wiskott, Laurenz (2003) Slow feature analysis yields a rich repertoire of complex cell properties.
