Fig. 13.22. Lateral excitatory connections in GMAP with different curvature ranges. The network trained with a broader range of curvatures (a) has broader areas of high probability connections (red and yellow) than the network trained with a narrower range (b). As a result, contours with more curvature and higher orientation jitter should be easier to detect in network (a) than in (b).
