The article's [1] source code can be found in this repository.
The repository is organized as:
- SOMLearning This directory contains four scripts for learning the representations of a skin patch using a neural field self-organizing map.
- Responses Containts all the necessary scripts for computing the receptive fields and their corresponding responses for each learning model.
- DiCarloProtocol In this directory there are all the scripts for reproducing the experimental protocol introduced in [2]. The reproduction in here is purely numerical (in silico).
- Statistics Here one can find all the scripts for running the statistical analysis presented in [1] (and originally in [2]).
Before one starts using the code should first create the necessary directories and modify the scripts accordingly.
