Abstract:Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) initiating the magnocellular/Y-cell visual pathways are distinguished by responding nonlinearly to high spatial frequencies (SFs) and temporal frequencies (TFs). This nonlinearity is implicated in the processing of contrast modulation (CM) stimuli in cats and monkeys, but its contribution to human visual perception is not well understood. Here we formulated an approach to reveal the function of human Y-like RGCs by leveraging the Y-like carrier response properties of cortical neur… Show more
