Objective analysis of the topological organization of the primate cortical visual system . Despite the inevitable loss of some precision, the reduction in effort required by subjects might make such an approach attractive, for example when using large stimulus sets. Before discussing the Monte Carlo study we first discuss a deficiency in the Delta row comparison rule and then define an alternative one which is also used in this study. Objective analysis of the topological organization of the primate cortical visual system . A large amount of data is now available about the pattern of connections between brain regions.
Computational methods are increasingly relevant for uncovering structure in such datasets.
Normally, it is applied to data matrices containing a large number of levels of dissimilarity, whereas for connectivity data there is a very small number. Application of an independent method that we developed strongly suggests that the visual system NMDS configuration is affected by an annular bias. A large part of the vertebrate brain is made up of the connections between different regions. The pattern of interconnectivity provides clues and constraints to hypotheses about brain function.
