We then analyse the conditions under which waves of spontaneous activity — as have been observed in the developing retina — may give rise at least to OR or OD. We find that in linear CBL models there must be subcortical convergence of ON/OFF as well as left eye/right eye pathways. We present a biologically plausible scenario in which the subcortical connectivity patterns resemble a competitive neural network and argue that OR and OD can robustly emerge, if a two-stage developmental process is assumed.
