The Neural
Control of Vision
F. Extrastriate Cortical Areas
In area V1 the visual field is laid out in a neat, orderly fashion. This
is also true for V2, but as we progress further up in the system the topography
becomes progressively less clear-cut and the receptive fields become progressively
larger. Curiously, in adjacent visual areas the visual field is laid out
in a mirror image fashion as depicted in Figure
17 that shows the progression of receptive fields (1-8) as
an electrode samples the cortex in progressive steps (1-8).
