Lateral inhibition in visual processing, sometimes called spatial opponency, can suppress the response to uniform, blank areas in a visual scene. It may help one understand illusions like simultaneous contrast and Mach bands. It can also enhance the response to edges in a visual scene. All of the listed answers are correct. Which of the following is NOT true of human retinal processing? Light passes through the retina to reach pigment molecules in the photoreceptor outer segments. Rod photoreceptors are most densely packed in the fovea, a roughly circular region at the center of the retina. Bipolar cells transmit photoreceptor activity to ganglion cells. Amacrine and horizontal cells help transmit visual information horizontally, across the retina. When the eyeball is jiggled by tapping on it, the visual world appears to move, but the world appears stationary when the eyes move normally through eye muscle activity. This suggests that the visual system compensates for voluntary eye movements. Involuntary eye movement produces an induced movement effect. Motion parallax is suppressed when the eyes are moved involuntarily. We see motion whenever there is retinal displacement. The fact that pressure on the eyeball results in a visual stimulus is consistent with the concept of an absolute threshold for sensory stimuli. Fechner's rules for measuring sensation intensity. The concept embodied in Weber's law. Muller's specificity theory. In a detection experiment, the costs and benefits of false alarms and hits, respectively, are changed so as to increase the bias toward saying "no", the signal is absent. This change will lead to an increase in the number of misses. Which features serve as units of image analysis by the visual system? Determining which differences in stimuli cause textures to be segregated readily. Determining the sensitivities of neurons in the visual system. Determining which differences in stimuli cause targets to pop out among distractors in visual search tasks. More than one of the listed answers is correct.

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/I/ occipital) to learn more about a transverse section through the brain that depicts the visual pathway from the eye to the occipital cortex. The first half of the pathway is the projection from the RGCs through the optic nerve to the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus on either side. This first fiber in the pathway synapses on a thalamic cell that then projects to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe where "seeing," or visual perception, takes place. This video gives an abbreviated overview of the visual system by concentrating on the pathway from the eyes to the occipital lobe. The video makes the statement (at 0: 45 ) that "specialized cells in the retina called ganglion cells convert the light rays into electrical signals." What aspect of retinal processing is simplified by that statement? Explain your answer.
