How to understand the visual perception
• Neurophysiology– Recording of cell responses– Functional MRI
• Psychophysics– Determination of the relationship between the
magnitude of a sensation and the magnitude of the stimulus that gave rise to the that perceptual sensation

Retinal Ganglion Cell Responses
![Page 5: Week 1 Friday](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5590cb1e1a28ab43538b4725/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
04/14/23 COP4610 5
Retinal Ganglion Receptive Fields
• Has a circular center-surround organization– Two major classes
• On-center
• Off-center
– How do they respond to a small spot of light?

Simple Cells in the Visual Cortex
![Page 7: Week 1 Friday](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5590cb1e1a28ab43538b4725/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
04/14/23 COP4610 7
Simple Cells
• rectangular shaped receptive fields
• segregated ON and OFF zones
• respond to a bright or dark bar
• represent a restricted region in the visual field
• respond best to a specific orientation
• non-optimally oriented stimuli will be ineffective in stimulating the neuron
![Page 8: Week 1 Friday](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5590cb1e1a28ab43538b4725/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
04/14/23 COP4610 8
Complex Cells
• larger receptive field than simple cells
• orientation tuned
• ON and OFF zones are mixed in the receptive field
• respond well to a moving bar
• direction selective
![Page 9: Week 1 Friday](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5590cb1e1a28ab43538b4725/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
04/14/23 COP4610 9
Hyper-complex Cells
• receptive field is selective for the length of the stimulus
• similar to complex cell receptive fields (orientation and direction selective)
• selective for features of shape such as length and width of the bar of light.

04/14/23 COP4610 10
Visual Perception
• Modern view is that visual transformation is a creative process– Vision transforms light stimuli on the retina into
mental constructs of a stable 3D world– Visual perception is a 3D percept of the world
that is invariant to a wide range of changes in illumination, size, shape, and brightness of the image

04/14/23 COP4610 11
Adaptation
• Adaptation– Prior exposure
affects the perception of brightness

04/14/23 COP4610 12
Web’s Law
• The difference threshold is not constant
• The difference threshold changes as a function of the magnitude of the standard stimulus

Contrast sensitivity function

Single Channel or Multiple Channels
![Page 15: Week 1 Friday](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062406/5590cb1e1a28ab43538b4725/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
04/14/23 COP4610 15
Neural Spatial Frequency Channels
• Neural receptive fields are tuned to the spatial frequency of the stimulus
• There seems to be a range of neural spatial frequency channels, each tuned to a different spatial frequency
• A spatial frequency channel can be adapted
