Limits of Human Visual Discrimination: Toward a General Model of Visual Geometry

Abstract

The goal of this investigation was to understand the neural computations that mediate the precision of human spatial vision. We approached this goal along three interrelated lines of research: (1) direct investigation of human and monkey retinal sampling mosaics; (2) psychophysical measurements of the precision of human spatial vision; and (3) computer simulations of human visual processes based on 'biologically correct' sampling lattices and 'behaviorally constrained neural models of human spatial information processing.
