Competing Goals for Visual System Design
Maximize spatial resolution
Maximize field of view
Minimize neural resources
![Page 28: THE VISUAL SYSTEM](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816081550346895dcfaa8f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Solution
High resolution foveal vision
Low resolution peripheral vision
Eye movement system

Types of Eye Movements
•Saccadic Movements:–Scanning movements where the gaze is abruptly shifted from one point to the next: conjugate, ballistic, no visual feedback
•Vergence Movements:–Cooperative movements that keep both eyes fixed on the target; converge or diverge
•Pursuit movements:–Smooth tracking movements that keep an object’s image fixed in place on the retina
•Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR)–Stabilize image during head and body movements
•Micro movements–Tremor, drift, microsaccades

Define the task and stimuli
Measure behavioral responses
Measure responses of single neurons or populations to same stimuli (preferably in same species and while behaving the task)
Test linking hypotheses; for example,Most sensitive neuron hypothesisOptimal pooling hypothesisSub-optimal pooling hypothesesInvariance hypothesis
(read Parker & Newsome 1998)

2. Ganglion cell sampling lattice (Curcio & Allen, 1980)
3. Receptive field properties of P cells (Derrington & Lennie,1984; Croner & Kaplan, 1995):
a. Center diameter of one cone in fovea
b. Center diameter increasing in proportion to GC density

d. Surround strength 50%-80% of the center
4. Response noise (Croner et al., 1993):
a. Constant additive noise

Light and Dark Adaptation: Solving the Dynamic Range Problem
The pupil opens up at low light levels, closes down at high light levels.
There are two photoreceptor systems: the rod
system (for low light levels) and the cone system (for high light levels).
The photoreceptors adjust their individual
sensitivities based upon the ambient light level.
The other retinal neurons adjust their sensitivities based upon the ambient light level.
