Optics of the Eye

Eye and Retina

The Blind Spot

Retinotopy Adapted from drawings by Ramon y Cajal

The Optic Pathway: eye, optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, thalamus, optic radiation, visual cortex Source: http://www1.appstate.edu/~kms/classes/psy3203/EyePhysio/VisualPathways.jpg

Rene Descartes, Retinotopy and the Seat of the Soul

Photoreceptors The human eye has ca. 10 million rods and ca 120 million cones

Phototransduction Immage source: wikipedia Light activated rhodopsin (R) activates G-protein (G) which in turn activates phosphodiesterase (PDE) which cleaves cGMP which closes cGMP-gated Na+ channel. What does any of this have to do with carrots?

Absorption Spectra The three different types of cones and the rods have slightly different opsins which are sensitive to different wavelengths. “Trichromacy” theory.

Sensitivity of Receptors

Rod and Cone Distribution

Retinal Wiring Photoreceptors Horizontal cells Bipolar cells Amacrine cells Retinal ganglion cells

Centre –Surround Receptive Fields Photo- receptors Horizontal Cell Bipolar Cell Retinal Ganglion Cell

On-centre and off-centre Receptive Fields Lateral inhibition provided by photoreceptor ribbon synapses, horizontal cell synapses and amacrine cells

Lateral inhibition for contrast (edge) detection

RGC receptive fields as “spatial frequency filters”

Difference of Gaussians Model of Retinal Ganglion Cells DoGmodelFigure.m The centre-surround structure of Retinal Ganglion Cells turns them into “spatial frequency filters”. Larger RGC receptive fields are tuned to “coarsely grained” structure in the visual scene, while smaller RFs are tuned to fine grain structure.

Convolving a Penny with DoGs The picture of an American cent (left) seen through large (middle) or small (right) difference of Gaussian receptive fields. filterPennies.m

M cells and P cells 90% P cells 5% M cells 5% non-M non-P

Projections to the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus

The Stepping Feet Illusion http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot_feet_lin/index.html What is going on here? M cells are colour blind, but very sensitive to brightness (luminance) contrast. P cells are R-G opponent Non-M non-P cells are Y-B opponent Only M cells project to the motion processing streams in the brain.
