PSYC 367 Lecture Notes - Mach Bands, Receptive Field, Visual Cortex
Document Summary
Parvocellular layers: layer 1 4; receive input from p. No m cells at fovea, increase as remove further from fovea. Important to know which eye light comes from. B appears darker than a, and d appears brighter than e. E with both center and surrounding area exposed in light, but still above baseline, because the excitatory area is stronger than the inhibitory area. Area v1: v1 (primary visual cortex, striate cortex): the area of the cerebral cortex of the brain that receives direct inputs from the. Picture of human cortex can be obtained using mri: important when doing experiment looking at different individuals" slightly different v1 maps. Location specific: complex cells: a neuron whose receptive-field characteristics cannot be easily predicted by mapping with spots of light. Bar of light has to be moving. Not location specific (move to different location, but same degree of orientation, same degree of response) Small range of orientation for direction of movement for response.
