▪ Abstract Before there was a formal discipline of psychology, there were attempts to
understand the relationship between visual perception and retinal physiology. Today, there …

This book presents an interdisciplinary overview of the main facts and theories that guide
contemporary research on visual perception. While the chapters cover virtually all areas of …

Psychophysical research has documented the existence of three processes in light
adaptation: a fast subtractive process, a divisive process that is fast at light onset and slower …

Rod and cone photoresponses in a variety of species have been accurately described with
linear multistage filter models. In this study, the response latency and initial coding of …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

Hartline's electrophysiological experiments, here reviewed, constitute the first steps in the
unitary analysis of the visual mechanisms of the invertebrate and vertebrate eye. They show …

The responses of monkey retinal ganglion cells to sinusoidal stimuli of various temporal
frequencies were measured and analyzed at a number of mean light levels. Temporal …

Addressing the question, how does the human visual path work, this book attempts to
integrate much of visual psychophysics with known facts about visual processes. Harvard …

A model is presented for the early (retinal) stages of temporal processing of light inputs in
the visual system. The model consists of a sequence of three adaptation processes, with two …

The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue that lines the back of the eye. It is part of the central
nervous system displaced into the eye during development. In addition to the light-sensitive …
