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

Huang, Xin; Paradiso, Michael 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 |

Rossi, A F; Rittenhouse, C D; Paradiso, M 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 |
