Figow 2.M: Contour compleiion resulting from ihe inleraetion between global fefdbai:k and<br />

local horizontal connections as proposed by l^e (2003). I.efl; A V2 neuron<br />

receives feedl'orward connections fnun a .set <strong>of</strong> VI neurons <strong>of</strong> a particular orieniaiion<br />

activated by real edges. Right: Tlie V2 neuron projecis leedbuck to the<br />

same set <strong>of</strong> VI neurons. The excited V2 neuron broadcasts (he possibility that<br />

an extended contour exists lo all VI neurons. This distributed feedback signal<br />

introduces the global context that motivates the completion <strong>of</strong> contour by the V1<br />

neurons based on local evidence precisely represented in V!.<br />
