A hierarchical model of peripheral vision by Isik, Leyla, Leibo, Joel Z., Mutch, Jim, Lee, Sang Wan, Poggio, Tomaso

“…As with existing cortical models, this model contains alternating layers of simple cells, which employ tuning functions to increase specificity, and complex cells, which pool over simple cells to increase invariance. To extend the traditional cortical model, we introduce the option of eccentricity-dependent pooling and tuning parameters within a given model layer. …”
