Studying visual neurons may explain how a human brain performs image analysis. The main
question is what mathematical function can represent the processes occurring in the brain.
Nowadays there is a variety of models, which are trying to reproduce them. The estimation of
precision of such models is the difference between the predicted output (firing rate) and the real
experimental data. In this project we will be implementing 5 models, which predict neurons’ firing
rates. The implementation of the models also requires parameters fitting, validation and testing
procedures.
