Does invariant recognition predict tuning of neurons in sensory cortex?

Tuning properties of simple cells in cortical V1 can be described in terms of a "universal shape" characterized by parameter values which hold across different species. This puzzling set of findings begs for a general explanation grounded on an evolutionarily important computational functi...
