Figure 10.11 Neural response of an orientation-selective neuron
depends on relationship of the light bars orientation to that of
the RF. Firing profiles show that vertical bar optimally stimulates
a neuron with a vertical RF orientation; minimum firing occurs when
bar is horizontal. Summary of firing rate as a function of bar
orientation is know as the orientation tuning curve. Orientation
