Functional architecture of the visual cortex and variational models for Kanizsa's modal subjective contours
pp. 55-69
Abstract
Due to the very strong geometrical structure of the functional architecture (hyper-columns, pinwheels, horizontal connections), the neural implementation of Kanizsa's contours is deeply linked with sophisticated structures belonging to what is called contact geometry and with variational models analogue to models already well known in physics.
