DYNAMICS OF VISUAL MECHANISMS

from PROCESSES IN BIOLOGICAL VISION

by JAMES T. FULTON


CONTENTS

This SITE PAGE summarizes several of the dynamic mechanisms of the visual process that cross the boundaries between the other pages of the Main Site of VISION CONCEPTS. The details concerning each of these mechanisms is explored completely in the noted Sections of Chapter 7 of PROCESSES IN BIOLOGICAL VISION. The mechanisms addressed here include:

7.1 Dynamics of the retinoids in the body
7.2 Dynamics of radiation chemistry & the photoreceptor cell

7.3 Dynamics of the physiological optics

  • Operation of the pointing system
  • Five individual operating modes
  • Model of the tonic and twitch mechanisms
  • Measured performance of tonic and twitch mechanisms

7.4 Operational overlays on the pointing system
  • The Version subsystem
  • The Vergence subsystem
  • The Accommodation subsystem
  • Latencies associated with the visual system

7.5 The MECHANISMS OF INTERPRETATION, PERCEPTION AND COGNITION IN VISION

7.6 Mechanical Dynamics of the photoreceptor cell--RPE interface
7.7 The hydraulic, metabolic & electrical dynamics of the electrostenolytic process powering the neurons
