Parallel information processing channels created in the retina.
In the retina, several parallel channels originate that extract different attributes from the visual scene. This review describes how these channels arise and what their functions are. Following the introduction four sections deal with these channels. The first discusses the "ON" and "OFF" channels that have arisen for the purpose of rapidly processing images in the visual scene that become vis...
متن کاملParallel processing in the mammalian retina: the Proctor Lecture.
T projection from the eye to the mammalian brain is organized into parallel routes. In the optic pathway retinal axons separate into several tracts that terminate in different subcortical areas, such as the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the lateral geniculate complex, the pretectum, the superior colliculus, and the accessory optic nuclei. In this way different aspects of the light signal are transfe...
متن کاملA Parallel Processing Model of the Drosophila Retina
The Drosophila Retina has been extensively characterized in the literature in terms of structure, connectivity and function. We present here a detailed description of the algorithms required for a full-scale parallel emulation of the Retina including (i) the mapping of the visual field onto the photoreceptors, (ii) the phototransduction process, and (iii) the parallel processing of the visual f...
متن کاملInformation processing in the primate retina: circuitry and coding.
The function of any neural circuit is governed by connectivity of neurons in the circuit and the computations performed by the neurons. Recent research on retinal function has substantially advanced understanding in both areas. First, visual information is transmitted to the brain by at least 17 distinct retinal ganglion cell types defined by characteristic morphology, light response properties...
متن کاملParallel processing in human audition and post-lesion plasticity
Recent activation and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that sound recognition and localization are processed in two distinct cortical networks that are each present in both hemispheres. Sound recognition and/or localization may be, however, disrupted by purely unilateral damage, suggesting that processing within one hemisphere may not be sufficient or may be disturbed by the contr...
