Abstract
This paper proposes a concept for modeling modalities and understanding the interaction between modalities through functional brain modeling (FBM). FBM proves to be a powerful method for functional behavior prediction of a group of neuronal cells with equivalent functional behavior. An example of interacting groups of neuronal cells, utilizing FBM, in early vision is given. A broad setup of functional behavior and interaction between different groups of cells in early vision has similar conceptual properties as cells that process other sensory information or multi modal sensory information.
