Properties of basis functions generated by shift invariant sparse representations of natural images.

abstract：:The action potentials (impulses) produced by pairs of neighboring retinal ganglion cells often show a tendency either to fire in close temporal synchrony or to avoid temporal synchrony. This cross-correlation (a rate of "coincidences" that differs from that expected by chance) has been exploited as a window into retin...
