Amodal completion on border-ownership surround model

This package of Matlab code contains the model of border-ownership selective cells, the original model of which was published in [1]. A more realistic model that is capable of determining BO from natural image patches was reported in [2]. A dynamic model with spiking neurons was published in [3]. Please cite these two papers when you refer to this model and/or package. The present package contains the experimental settings and stimuli that enable the reproduction of electrophysiological experiment reported in [4].

The model determines the direction of BO with respect to a contour based on surround modulation. The package provides 300 surround regions with randomly-chosen Gaussians. The package also includes stimuli for amodal completion.
