Abstract
We propose a linear Hebbian model that describes the development of spatiotemporal receptive fields as a competition between four types of input onto a cortical cell, viz., non-lagged ON and OFF inputs and lagged ON and OFF inputs. The outcome of the development is determined mainly by the spatial and the temporal correlations between the different inputs. We indicate what type of input correlation leads to a wide range of direction selectivity indices as found experimentally.
