English: Simulated Spontaneous Activity. The spontaneous activity organizes in complex spatiotemporal patterns (some snapshots of the movie are also shown in figure 2 ). The color scale indicates spontaneous firing rates in arbitrary units: red being above firing baseline (represented in green) and blue below. The spontaneous patterns reveal some spatial modularity, reminiscent of the spatial patterns observed via voltage sensitive dye imaging in V1 of cats. In effect, red and blue areas segregate forming domains of approximately the same extension. These modules vary in time but have a pronounced tendency to reemerge. Black scale bar: 0.7 mm.
