Extensive electrophysiology studies have shown that many V1 simple cells nonlinear response properties to stimuli within their classical receptive field (CRF) and receive contextual influence from outside the CRF modulating cell's response. Models seeking explain these non-classical (nCRF) effects in terms of circuit mechanisms, input-output descriptions, or individual visual tasks provide limited insight into functional significance properties, because they do not connect full range nCRF...
