Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Receptive Fields and the Reconstruction of Visual Information
The structure of receptive fields provides one of the most powerful constraints on visual information processing. They provide a system within which electrophysiologists can classify and compare their research, and they suggest properties of mechanisms. But how do they relate to abstract functional properties of the visual system? For example, why are some structured in a center-surround fashion? Why do they arise in both ON and off varieties? How do they support the communication of information from the retina to the cortex, and how can they account for hyperacuity? These are some of the questions we shall address in this paper. In general, all of the answers are related to schemes for representing visual information.
