1 Visual Brain: The Neural Basis of Visual Perception!?!
2 Human Brain: Amazing Machine! Cerebral cortex! Highest level of all sensory integration Highest level of somatic motor control Memory, association and cognitive processes (higher processes) Control of neural activities over lower levels billion neurons 150 billion glial cells 2.5 ft2 if unwrinkled Sulcus! or Fissure! Gyrus! Gray matter! White matter!
3 About 40% of the human cerebral cortex is specialized in visual! functions ( > 50% in monkeys)! Area 19" (V3)" Area 18" (V2)" The primary visual cortex (area 17 or V1)"

5 Understanding how visual information is processed in the brain Three stages of neural processing! 1. Low-level processing: First-order! stimulus feature information (stimulus! contrast, orientation, spatial frequency,! temporal frequency, wavelength) is processed.!!! 2. Mid-level processing: Grouping! or linking of first-order stimulus information.!!! 3. High-level processing:! Decision-making mechanisms: Initiation of! perceptual responses, e.g., recognition of! an object in visual scenes.!!
6 Information processing by neurons of our visual brain! 1. Encoding of stimulus contrast and spatial frequency information (RGC & LGN)! 2. Detection and encoding of orientation and spatial frequency of lines and contours (V1)! 3. Encoding of angles or curvatures (V2, V4)! 4. Encoding the spatial relationships of orientated lines or contours (Linking)(V2, V4)! 5. Decoding of linked features Perception of face )(IT, beyond)!
