Expertise:   While it is generally recognized that perceived brightness is not apoint-by-point representation of retinal illumination, there is no consensus about how brightness is computed. The goal of the proposed research is to answ .....

"Perception of brightness and brightness illusions in the macaque monkey." The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 22, No. 21 2002, pp. 9618-25.
HuangXin; MacEvoySean P; ParadisoMichael A
From Abstract:
induction, and White's effect in macaque monkeys. The results show that, qualitatively and quantitatively, the perception of brightness in macaques and humans is quite similar. This similarity may... with brightness perception in humans. Very little is known about the perception of brightness in animals typically

"Background Changes Delay Information Represented in Macaque V1 Neurons" Journal of Neurophysiology 94, No. 6 2005, pp. 4314-4330.
HuangXin; ParadisoMichael A.
From Abstract:
In natural behavioral situations, saccadic eye movements not only introduce new stimuli into V1 receptive fields, they also cause changes in the background. We recorded in awake macaque V1 using a fixation paradigm and compared evoked activity to small stimuli when the background was either static

"The representation of brightness in primary visual cortex." Science (New York, N.Y.) 273, No. 5278 1996, pp. 1104-7.
RossiA F; RittenhouseC D; ParadisoM A
From Abstract:
of light, their responses have not been thought to correlate with the perception of brightness... to higher cortical areas where perception of brightness, color, and form occurs. However... with perceived brightness, rather than responding strictly to the light level in the receptive fields
