From: Coverage, continuity, and visual cortical architecture
Stripe-like, crystalline, and quasi-crystalline cortical representations as optimal solutions to the mapping of orientation preference with fixed uniform retinotopy in the EN model. The graph shows the regions of the s4-σ/Λ-plane in which n-ECPs or sPWCs have minimal energy. For n ≥ 3, pinwheel densities of the energetically favored n-ECP configuration are indicated.
