DESCRIPTION:Dynamics in a model of primate visual cortex\n\nLai-Sang Young\
 , New York University\n	Tuesday October 26\, 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: https://mcg
 ill.zoom.us/j/85428056343\n\nAbstract: I would like to report on some rece
 nt work on a thalamocortical model of the monkey visual cortex (V1)\, whic
 h is very similar to that of humans. Having built a mechanistic model the 
 outputs of which show good quantitative agreement with data for multiple v
 isual functions\, we analyze model dynamics in the hope that they will she
 d light on mechanisms for real cortex. Three aspects of model behavior wil
 l be discussed. They are (1) the dynamics of E/I balance in local circuits
 \, (2) the dynamics underlying how V1 neurons acquire some of their visual
  capabilities such as orientation and direction selectivity\, and (3) dyna
 mics across cortical surfaces\, which I view as having much similarity wit
 h nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Along the way\, I hope to offer in
 sight into phenomena of general theoretical interest\, such as the unreaso
 nable effectiveness of external inputs and interaction of feed forward and
  intra-cortical currents.\n
