These pages contain my Eric Dolphy and Booker Little discographies, Captain Beefheart magic, some jazz items, Central African Republic stuff, and even some Science:

• Effects of adapting on spatiotemporal receptive field structure in striate cortical simple cells

• Modeling the development of direction selectivity - associating poorly correlated inputs

• Development of response timing in the lateral geniculate nucleus

• Measuring timing in terms of phase, rather than latency (872 K pdf)

• Timing in alert macaque LGN (1.4 MB pdf)

  Some of this Neuroscience 2006 presentation was subsequently published below. The main point of the talk was that magnocellular LGN has a diversity of timing. This has been recognized by many authors (e.g., Kaplan & Shapley, 1982), but too often ignored. This was also the first report that lagged cells exist in monkey LGN.
  

• Effects of fixational saccades on LGN timing (QuickTime presentation: click to move through it)

• Flexible multifocal ERG (QuickTime presentation)
