    Citation Excerpt :

    It is well-known that cells in V1 are suppressed by stimuli in their surround. This suppression is strongest when image elements in the surround of the neurons’ RF have the same orientation as those in the center [43–45]. Large regions with a uniform orientation (such as background regions) therefore elicit greater suppression than small regions with feature contrast (such as figural regions).
