our post on our ocular dominance paper got slightly mangled. The
first three lines were deleted. They had been:
> FTP-host: phy.ucsf.edu
> FTP-filename: /pub/erwin/CNS95proc.ps.Z
> URL: ftp://phy.ucsf.edu/pub/erwin/CNS95proc.ps.Z
the post then continued (but in your version, began) as:
> The following paper is now available by anonymous ftp, from the above
> addresses, or from my or Ed Erwin's home pages (addresses below).
> Sorry, hard copies are not available.
since the "above addresses" had been deleted, this became inscrutable.
could you possible either repost, or post a correction? The complete
post is below.

Modeling Joint Development of Ocular Dominance and
Orientation Maps in Primary Visual Cortex
by Ed Erwin and Kenneth D. Miller
To appear in the Proceedings of the Computation and Neural
Systems (CNS) 1995 conference, Monterey. (In press)
ABSTRACT:
We have combined earlier correlation-based models of striate ocular
dominance and orientation preference map formation into a joint model.
Cortical feature preferences are defined through patterns of synaptic
connectivity to LGN cells which develop due to firing correlations of
those LGN cells. Model parameters include spatial correlation
patterns between ON- and OFF-center cells in separate eye layers of
the LGN. A linear transformation yields correlation functions which
predict whether orientation preferences, ocular dominance, or both,
will develop. The model thus predicts the correlations between LGN
cells which would be necessary to explain formation of visual maps by
a linear process.
