Towards hybrid models of retinal circuits - integrating biophysical realism, anatomical constraints and predictive performance

Visual processing in the retina has been studied in great detail at all levels such that a comprehensive picture of the retina's cell types and the many neural circuits they form is emerging. However, the currently best performing models of retinal function are black-box CNN models which are agnostic to such biological knowledge. Here, I present two of our recent attempts to develop computational models of processing in the inner retina, which both respect biophysical and anatomical constraints yet provide accurate predictions of retinal activity
