Review text

A nonlinear mathematical model, which can be interpreted in known biophysical terms, is presented for the spatiotemporal description of the phenomenon of cometlike afterimage effects. The model is based on the neural equation developed by \textit{M. N. Oğuztöreli} [see e.g. Biol. Cybern. 37, 53-61 (1980; Zbl 0437.92009); ibid. 44, 1-8 (1982; Zbl 0485.92007), and IEEE Trans. Syst. Man Cybern. SMC 13, 766-781 (1983; Zbl 0544.92011)]. A computer simulation is presented for the spatiotemporal description of the development and features of cometlike afterimages as a function of the speed and luminance of the stimulus and background intensity. Numerical determination of the stationary solutions and a linear stability analysis are given.
