Figure
13 shows the responses of a simple and complex cell to drifting
sinusoidal gratings of different spatial frequency selectivity. The cells
are tuned in that they prefer certain spatial frequencies more than others.
The simple cell responds distinctly to each bar in the grating. Almost
all simple and complex cells demonstrate spatial frequency selectivity.
