Of the many possible functions of the macaque monkey primary visual cortex (striate cortex,
area 17) two are now fairly well understood. First, the incoming information from the lateral …

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

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 theory of edge detection is presented. The analysis proceeds in two parts.(1) Intensity
changes, which occur in a natural image over a wide range of scales, are detected …

We measured the spatial frequency contrast sensitivity of cells in the primate striate cortex at
two different eccentricities to provide quantitative statistics from a large population of cells …

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 …

1. Recordings were made from single units in the middle temporal visual area (MT) of
anesthetized, paralyzed macaque monkeys. A computer-driven stimulator was used to make …

Primates are remarkably good at recognizing objects. The level of performance of their
visual system and its robustness to image degradations still surpasses the best computer …

We recorded from single neurons in the middle temporal visual area (MT) of the macaque
monkey and studied their direction and orientation selectivity. We also recorded from single …
