Luminance was introduced by the CIE as a photometric analog of radiance. This implies that
an additive spectral-luminosity function characterizes the human observer. In practice, many …

There is a renaissance of interest in the primate retina. Several developments converged to
ignite this recent fascination. Among them are:(1) The wide-spread realization that …

The visual system of the macaque monkey has provided a useful model for understanding
the neural basis of human vision, yet, there are few detailed comparisons of neural …

It is often supposed that the messages sent to the visual cortex by the retinal ganglion cells
are encoded by the mean firing rates observed on spike trains generated with a Poisson …

We studied the receptive field organization and contrast sensitivity of ganglion cells located
within the central 80 (radius of 40) deg of the macaque retina. Ganglion cell activity was …

It is an honor to review the 5th edition of omitted in the 5th edition. This may be con-Visual
Perception: A Clinical Orientation, sidered a shortcoming by some readers. It by Dr. Steven …

The effects of ablating the visual pathway that passes through the parvocellular (dorsal) LGN
were tested in 2 macaque monkeys by measuring acuity and both luminance and chromatic …

1. The aim of this study was to determine whether optical, receptoral or higher‐order neural
properties limit spatial resolution (acuity) in human vision, especially in the peripheral …

We measured brain activity, perceptual thresholds, and reading performance in a group of
dyslexic and normal readers to test the hypothesis that dyslexia is associated with an …

1. We have studied the sensitivity of macaque retinal ganglion cells to sinusoidal flicker.
Contrast thresholds were compared for stimuli which alternated only in luminance …
