Under normal viewing conditions, retinal ganglion cells transmit to the brain an encoded
version of the visual world. The retina parcels the visual scene into an array of …

One of the most impressive features of our vision is the fact that we see with good sensitivity
over such a large range of light levels. This process is usually termed light adaptation by …

The study of visual perception is one of the most fascinating areas of modern brain research.

threshold for eliciting a just detectable response using either concentric spot stimuli centred …

A three-component model of spatial vision is proposed, consisting of (1) a feedback
stage,(2) a feedforward stage,(3) a threshold detector. The components correspond to …
