General
The realization of local space-time models of retinal processes can be achieved by means of available typical dynamical systems simulation tools (like Simulink) because only a very small number of parallel channels is needed. In short, the aim is to simulate both the time and space dimensions as delay chains, where the travelling signals are available at different points of the delay chain to interact among them. These models provide an interesting and fruitful insight into the neurophysiological processes.
