چکیده

Electrical activity of lateral geniculate nucieus, optic tract and visual cortex wasrecorded in cats paralysed with curare. The responses to a low intensity flash of light werestudied when the flash was associated with the sudden movement (> 3OO”/sec)on the retina of animage involving contours. When the fiash occurred 50 msec after the beginning of the move-ment, the response was strongly diminished in amplitude, and was normat again if the dela!between both stimuli became longer than 200 msec. When the Rash occurred before themove-ment, it was on the contrary the potential induced by the movement which was reduced inamplitude with the same delays. These results show that any movement on the retina of a struc-tured image may alter the signals of stationary stimuli. It would be possible to explain on theselines the perceptive “suppression” observed during rapid ocular movements. R&urn;&--On enregistre l’activite Clectrique du corps genouifli lateral, du tractus optique etdu cortex visuel chez des chats paralyses au curare. On Ctudie les reponses B un ecclair de lumierede faible intensite quand Nclair est associe avec un mouvement brusque (> 3OO”/se4 sur laretine dune image comprenant des contours. Quand l’blair se produit environ 50 msec avantle debut du mouvement, l’amplitude de la rCponse diminue fortement, et redevient normalesi le dilai entre les deux stimuli depasse 200 msec.

On pourrait expliquer ainsi la “suppression” perceptiveque l’on observe durant des mouvements oculaires rapides. Zusammenfassung-Die elektrische Aktivitlit wurde im Geniculatum laterale, im Sehnerv undim visuehen Kortex bei Katzen gemessen, die mit Curare geighmt waren. Die Antwort aufeinen Lichtblitz niedriger Intensitiit wurde in Verbindung mit der plotzlichen Bewegung( > 300’:sek.) eines konturenreichen Bildes untersucht. Wenn der Blitz 50 msek. nach Beginn derBewegung kam, wurde die Antwort darauf stark geschticht. Sie war wieder normal, wenn derZcitunterschied zwischen beiden Reizen mebr ais 200 msek. betrug. Wenn der Blitz vor derBewegung kam, wurde das durch die Bewegung induzierte Potential bei den gleichen Verzii-gerungen geschw&ht.; Diese Ergebnisse zeigen, dass jede Bewegung eines strukturiertenBildes auf der Netzhaut. die Antwort auf station&e; Reize indern kann. Es sollte moglich sein.damit die wSlhrend schneller Augenbewegungen beobachtete Suppression zu erkklren.

Integration of saccadic eye movement signals into visual processing

Successful interpretation of visual motion requires information regarding ocular motion as well as information from retinal image motion. This suggests that eye movement information is integrated into visual motion perception and that the neural activity in visual cortex would be modulated by saccadic eye movements. We describe in this paper the characteristics of the neural activity in the cat...

THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF LASER PHOTOCOAGULATION AND VITRECTOMY IN EALES\'DISEASE

Eales' disease is an idiopathic obliterative retinal vasculopathy that is treated with laser photocoagulation, and/or vitrectomy. In order to determine visual outcomes and regression of retinal neovascularization following scattered peripheral retinal photocoagulation, and/or vitrectomy in cases with Eales' disease, we did a retrospective study of the records of these patients treated in La...

Visual Feature Based Registration of Images from Different Retinal Eccentricities

The development of variable resolution displays that correspond to the spatial resolution of the visual system motivates the examination of basic image processing methods such as image registration, using images with different resolutions. Such examination is further motivated by the visual stability that is the perception of a stable visual world in spite of saccadic eye movements, which sugge...

Morphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal

Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...

Reduced-Reference Image Quality Assessment based on saliency region extraction

In this paper, a novel saliency theory based RR-IQA metric is introduced. As the human visual system is sensitive to the salient region, evaluating the image quality based on the salient region could increase the accuracy of the algorithm. In order to extract the salient regions, we use blob decomposition (BD) tool as a texture component descriptor. A new method for blob decomposition is propos...

Adaptation to an altered relation between retinal image displacements and saccadic eye movements.

The normal relation between retinal image displacement and saccadic eye movement was experimentally altered by moving a stimulus vertically up or down contingent upon a subject’s horizontal saccades. For half the subjects the stimulus moved up with a rightward and down with a leftward saccade. while for the other subjects the reverse was the case. Prior to and following 45 min of exposure to th...
