Summary: Orientation selectivity is a defining characteristic of V1 neuronal responses. Ringach et al. (2002) have published population data for two measures used to quantify orientation tuning in V1 neurons, bandwidth (BW) and circular variance (CV). For the Ringach et al. data set, median CV was 0.61 and median BW 23.5 degrees. Click on the model name in the table to view model benchmark results.
