Migraine phosphenes and the retino-cortical magnification factor
Quantitative observations on the shape and position of migraine phosphenes within the visual field were obtained by controlled "perimetric" drawings of the phosphenes performed every 1-2 min during the aura state. The visual field eccentricity of the "fortification" or zig-zag patterns scintillating at about 10 Hz was plotted as a function of observation time. It is well described by an exponen...
متن کاملCanonical Coordinates for Retino-Cortical Magnification
A geometric model for a biologically-inspired visual front-end is proposed, based on an isotropic, scale-invariant two-form field. The model incorporates a foveal property typical of biological visual systems, with an approximately linear decrease of resolution as a function of eccentricity, and by a physical size constant that measures the radius of the geometric foveola, the central region ch...
متن کاملOn the scaling law for cortical magnification factor
Primate visual system samples different parts of the world unevenly. The part of the visual scene corresponding to the eye center is represented densely, while away from the center the sampling becomes progressively sparser. Such distribution allows a more effective use of the limited transfer rate of the optic nerve, since animals can aim area centralis (AC) at the relevant position in the sce...
متن کاملCortical magnification plus cortical plasticity equals vision?
Most approaches to visual prostheses have focused on the retina, and for good reasons. The earlier that one introduces signals into the visual system, the more one can take advantage of its prodigious computational abilities. For methods that make use of microelectrodes to introduce electrical signals, however, the limited density and volume occupying nature of the electrodes place severe limit...
متن کاملCortical Magnification, Scale Invariance and Visual Ecology
The visual world of an organism can be idealized as a sphere. Locomotion towards the pole causes translation of retinal images that is proportional to the sine of eccentricity of each object. In order to estimate the human striate cortical magnification factor M, we assumed that the cortical translations, caused by retinal translations due to the locomotion, were independent of eccentricity. Th...
