We are investigating possible functional roles for spiral wave activity in visual cortex. Our initial findings suggest that spiral wave formation could contribute to visual salience analysis, in particular for mediating attention to human body features. Exploiting travelling wave dynamics for visual processing offers many advantages, including template-free sensitivity to spatial patterns, robustness and suitability for parallel and physical implementation
