EEE 508 - Lecture 4
Organization in the Visual Cortex
• Information in the visual cortex is represented within an orientation- andfrequency-selective modular neural bank.
• A hypercolumn consists of two ocular dominance columns. Each of the twoocular dominance columns receive inputs from the same retinal location (butfrom a different eye) and contains a complete set of orientation columns.
• Each hypercolumn corresponds to a particular region. Adjacent hypercolumnsanalyze for adjacent but overlapping retinal patches.

EEE 508 - Lecture 4
Binocular Vision
• Binocular stereo is not the only means for depth perception• Spatial depth perception possible through monocular cues:
! Head movement parallax! Linear perspective! Shading and texture gradients! Occlusion of more distant objects by near ones! Accomodation (muscular tension to focus objects)

EEE 508 - Lecture 4
Color Vision• Color vision involves the analysis of the object in relation to its
background! Color not experienced if eye in uniform color field without any
pattern! A point source of white light can appear any color! Totally different wavelength combinations can produce identical
colors (red + green ? yellow)

Color Vision• Cones in the human retina contains one of 3 pigments
! sensitive to short wavelengths (blue)! sensitive to middle wavelengths (green)! sensitive to long wavelengths (red)
• Comparison of outputs of different cones• Chromatic aberration at shorter wavelengths
! short wavelengths cones not found in fovea

Double-opponent Color-Contrast Cortical Cell
Double-opponent red-green color-contrastcortical cells with concentric receptive fieldsare highly sensitive to simultaneous colorcontrast
Some Double-opponent simple cellsalso exhibit orientation selectivity

EEE 508 - Lecture 4
Perception
• Not the inevitable result of a set of stimulus pattern• Best interpretation of sensory data based on past experience
and a set of generic criteria• Visual perception must involve analysis and decomposition of
a scene into coherent and recognizable entities

through a field of similar but stationary dots• The laws are not absolute; e.g. proximity law influenced by
prior experience
