This project explores how the visual system processes varying contrast and luminance levels, focusing on the synaptic mechanisms in the retina. By using advanced imaging techniques, the research aims to understand the roles of adaptation and facilitation in neural coding.
A formidable challenge for the visual system is to encode the statistical variability in the visual environment.
For example, the vital statistics of contrast and luminance vary by several orders of magnitude within an image and during global changes in overall viewing conditions.
The range of visual signals far exceeds the dynamic range of neurons in the retina.Traditional views dictate that during the visual contrast processing the retinal circuitry undergoes adaptation and thereby extends its…
