The ultimate test of our knowledge of the visual system is prediction: we can say that we know what the visual system does when we can predict its response to arbitrary stimuli. How far are we from this end result? Do we have a “standard model” that can predict the responses of at least some early part of the visual system, such as the retina, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), or primary visual cortex (V1)? Does such a model predict responses to stimuli encountered in the real world?

was implanted during my formative years, when I participated in this terrific event in 2004, led by @carandinilab.net.

We agreed on a goal, and we all plowed forward to figure out how to do it. None of us worked on the whole problem; just slices. /2

And some of us pondered: How do all those slices fit together? And what's the Grand Plan to fill in the rest? Here's one example 😊. Seeing it begin to converge for vision, I moved on to analogous goals (eg for visual memory) /3
