Study Notes
- The text discusses the orientation selectivity of simple cells.
- Simple cells have a preferred orientation and respond best to it.
- They also respond to other similar orientations.
- Some simple cells have ON-center RFs and some have Off-center RFs.
- Some simple cells only have one excitatory and one inhibitory region.
- Simple cells are bar detectors and edge detectors.
- There are three different types of cells in V1.
- Orientation tuning is a characteristic of orientation tuned neurons.
- Simple cells have receptive fields.
- Some simple cells are tuned to vertical bars while others are tuned to 30-degree bars.
- The text discusses measuring activity of ganglion cells in the retina.
- Ganglion cells have baseline activity before any stimulus is applied.
- Experimenters try to find a stimulus that changes the activity of the ganglion cell.
- The response of the ganglion cell is measured in terms of action potentials.
- An increase in the frequency of action potentials indicates an increase in response.
- The activity of ganglion cells is measured over time.
- Ganglion cells are located in the retina.
- Baseline activity is already present in ganglion cells.
- Action potentials are used to measure the response of ganglion cells.
- The goal of experimenters is to find a stimulus that changes the activity of ganglion cells.
- The text discusses the concepts of receptive fields, excitatory and inhibitory response, convergence, lateral inhibition, and center-surround antagonism in vision.
- Ganglion cells in the retina respond to light through changes in firing rate.
- The Hermann grid and simultaneous contrast illusion are examples of visual phenomena related to these concepts.
- Next week's lecture will cover how the brain processes complex visual stimuli and the responsible visual areas.
- The primary visual cortex is one such area.
- The reading for this week's lecture is Goldstein chapter 3, and for next week's lecture, it is Goldstein chapter 4.
- Questions for next week's lecture are provided.
- The course is PSYC11312: Sensation and Perception, taught by Dr. Becky Champion.
- The lecture series explores the topics of sensation and perception and their importance.
- The current lecture focuses on the eye and retina.
- The text discusses the Perceptual Process.
- It includes concepts like the Eye, Retina, and Photo-receptors.
- The Photo-receptors include Rods and Cones.
- The text talks about the Sensitivity of these receptors.
- It also discusses Neural Convergence and Acuity.
- The next week's topic is Receptive Fields.
- The text talks about how Ganglion Cells select the mos.
- The article is related to blurry vision at night.
- Perception, Recognition, and Action are also mentioned.
- Knowledge is a part of the Perceptual Process.
