JAMES T. FULTON

Jim Fulton has been analyzing and describing the performance of the human eye for over 30 years primarily for the military and industrial vision markets. He first compared the human eye with photographic film and television techniques in the 1960's when he showed the ultimate limitations of film compared to the eye and television. At that time, he also showed that television techniques would soon approach the animal visual system in ultimate sensitivity at a given angular resolution in object space. This parity has now occurred at a quantum efficiency in both systems exceeding 85% under operational conditions.

With the publication of Biological Vision: A 21st Century Tutorial, a more general text on neurology was undertaken. However, the field of hearing did not contain an end-to-end description of the hearing system. This was surprising since much of it was identical to the visual system. The current work has resulted in the first comprehensive description of the hearing modality.

Mr. Fulton is a generalist with a strong academic background in a wide variety of disciplines found in the hearing system of animals. The variety in his Patent awards, as well as the variety of his industrial positions, speaks to this diversity of interests and capabilities. His complete Resume is available on this site.
