A. DMD task: either ACW or CW has to be reported in relation to the reference. B. Network structure. Pyramid cells of WMC (CPC and APC) are arranged on a circle according to their preferred motion directions and with rotation invariant Gaussian shaped lateral connections. Note that from WMC to CPC and APC connectivity is offset by -45°/+45°. Right box indicates the decision making network. C. Network activity during the DMD task. Reference (90°) is applied to the WMC (blue line), while the test (100°) is applied to CPC and APC (green line). Due to the connectivity structure (see B), the group A of the decision circuit activates stronger than group C indicating a correct ACW decision.
