Retinal Computation

Retinal Computation: Discover the World’s Most Complex Image Processing Machine

Looking to delve into the intricate workings of the retina and its complex computations? Our definitive guide, Retinal Computation, is an essential resource that lightens the path for advanced graduate students, researchers, and ophthalmologists interested in vision science or computational neuroscience of sensory systems.

Unlike the typical textbook’s simple biological video camera analogy, our book explores the retina as the world’s most sophisticated image processing machine. Situated in the central nervous system, the retina transforms patterns of light input into a spectrum of representations at the output. Uncover the power of the retina’s image processing capabilities as it encodes features like color, contrast, orientation of edges, and direction of motion.

Key features of our Retinal Computation guide:

– Practical insights: This book serves as a practical guide on the field of retinal computation, providing a rich understanding of the current state of this dynamic field.
– Clear explanations: Important topics such as luminance, contrast, spatial features, motion, and other computations are summarized and explained in an easily understandable manner.
– Interactive learning: Every chapter includes discussion questions, a landmark paper, and programming exercises for an engaging learning experience.

Dive into the world of retinal circuits with our comprehensive guide. As one of the most accessible parts of the central nervous system, the retina’s complexity is unraveled with the precision of our study tools. Embrace the challenge of understanding retinal computation and elevate your knowledge in vision science and computational neuroscience with Retinal Computation. Read more.
