A quantitative description of macaque ganglion cell responses to natural scenes: the interplay of time and space.

ABSTRACT:

Key points

Responses to natural scenes are the business of the retina. We find primate ganglion cell responses to such scenes consistent with those to simpler stimuli. A biophysical model confirmed this and predicted ganglion cell responses with close to retinal reliability. Primate ganglion cell responses to natural scenes were driven by temporal variations in colour and luminance over the receptive field centre caused by eye movements, and little influenced by interaction of centre and surround with structure in the scene. We discuss implications in the context of efficient coding of the visual environment. Much information in a higher spatiotemporal frequency band is concentrated in the magnocellular pathway.
