Edges are key components of any visual scene to the extent that we can recognise objects
merely by their silhouettes. Human visual system captures edge information using neurons
that are sensitive to both intensity discontinuities and particular orientations. The “classical
approach” assumes that these cells are only responsive to the stimulus present within their

interareal feedback connections influence their responses significantly. In this work we …
