02 - Retinal processing II & Pathways - Oct 25, 2016
Topics addressed in the lecture:
- Perceptual sensitivity and working range
- Retinal ganglion cell receptive fields
- Luminance adaptation
- Weber law
- Temporal receptive field properties
Examples for questions you should be able to answer:
- Explain how the feed-forward connectivity and lateral interaction in the retina leads to on-center ganglion cell receptive fields
- Define a visual receptive field. How does the receptive field of an off-center retinal ganglion cell look like?
Important concepts:
- Center-surround antagonism
- Contrast encoding
- Trade-off between sensitivity and working range
- Luminance invariance
