Visual cortex is sensitive to order-disorder phase transition
Visual cortex is sensitive to order-disorder phase transition is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Journal of Vision''. The main subjects of the publication include monotonic function, physics, connectome, artificial intelligence, texture, phase change, autocorrelation, perception, computer science, visual cortex, biological function, mathematics, and statistical physics. The authors found that the BOLD response in early visual areas as well as in lateral occipital complex (LOC) was highest for images close to the phase transition, thus supporting the autocorrelation hypothesis and rejecting first-order statistics as an underlying mechanism.
