This volume presents an integrated view of how we perceive the spatial relations in our
visual world, covering anatomical, physiological, psychophysical, and perceptual aspects …

We rely on our visual system to cope with the vast barrage of incoming light patterns and to
extract features from the scene that are relevant to our well-being. The necessary reduction …

Understanding the circuit mechanisms of the visual code for natural scenes is a central goal
of sensory neuroscience. We show that a three-layer network model predicts retinal natural …

Available again, an influential book that offers a framework for understanding visual
perception and considers fundamental questions about the brain and its functions. David …

A central challenge in sensory neuroscience is to understand neural computations and
circuit mechanisms that underlie the encoding of ethologically relevant, natural stimuli. In …

Vision is our primary sensory channel for interaction with the outside world. It allows us to
recognize familiar faces and creatures, and objects; it allows us to orient ourselves in space …

In his paper Theory of Communication [Gab46], D. Gabor proposed the use of a family of
functions obtained from one Gaussian by time-and frequency shifts. Each of these is well …

Neuroanatomic studies of the mammalian retina have the invaluable advantage that, as
difficulties arise in the functional classification of a structure, auxiliary information from …

We can claim that we know what the visual system does once we can predict neural
responses to arbitrary stimuli, including those seen in nature. In the early visual system …

1. We have examined the responses of simple cells in the cat's atriate cortex to visual
patterns that were designed to reveal the extent to which these cells may be considered to …
