Document Summary

Neural processing: the interaction of the signals in many neurons. Latent inhibition has to do with perception of lightness the perception of shades ranging from white to gray to black. If b, c, d and e sent 10 units (100 x 0. 1) of inhibition to bipolar a, that means: 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40. Final responses are different because d receives less lateral inhibition than a. Mach bands illusory light and dark bands near a light-dark border: 1) start with the initial response of each bipolar cell: 100 for a, b, and. C; 20 for d, e and f: 2) determine the amount of inhibition that each bipolar cell sends to its neighbor on each side. As with the hermann grid, assume that the amount of inhibition sent from each cell is one-tenth of its initial response.
