Summary
We have come a long way since our initial steps toward defining the basic properties of vision in Chapter 1. We started with characterizing the spatial and temporal statistics of natural images (Chapter 2). We summarized visual behavior – that is, how observers perceive the images around them (Chapter 3). Lesion studies helped define specific circuits in the cortex that are responsible for processing distinct types of visual information (Chapter 4). We explored how neurons in the retina, the thalamus, and the ventral visual cortex respond to a variety of different stimulus conditions (Chapters 2, 5, and 6).
