Copyright (c) Allyn & Bacon Anatomy of the Visual System  The Eyes  Cornea:  Transparent outer covering of the eye that admits light  Pupil:  Adjustable opening in the iris that regulates the amount of light that enters the eye  Iris:  Pigmented ring of muscles situated behind the cornea

Copyright (c) Allyn & Bacon Anatomy of the Visual System  Photoreceptors  Retina:  The neural tissue and photoreceptive cells located on the inner surface of the posterior portion of the eye.  Rod:  Photoreceptor cells of the retina, sensitive to light of low intensity.  Cone:  Photoreceptor cells of the retina; maximally sensitive to one of three different wavelengths of light and hence encodes color vision.

7 Anatomy of the Visual System  The Eyes  Lens: Consists of a series of transparent, onion-like layers. Its shape can be changed by contraction of ciliary muscles.  Accommodation:  Changes in the thickness of the lens, accomplished by the ciliary muscles, that focus images of near or distant objects on the retina

9 Anatomy of the Visual System  The Eyes  Fovea:  Area of retina that mediates the most acute vision. Contains only color-sensitive cones.  Optic Disk:  Location on retina where fibers of ganglion cells exit the eye. Responsible for the blind spot.

23 Structure of NNs (and some ANNs) In biological systems, neurons of similar functionality are usually organized in separate areas (or layers).In biological systems, neurons of similar functionality are usually organized in separate areas (or layers). Often, there is a hierarchy of interconnected layers with the lowest layer receiving sensory input and neurons in higher layers computing more complex functions.Often, there is a hierarchy of interconnected layers with the lowest layer receiving sensory input and neurons in higher layers computing more complex functions. For example, neurons in macaque visual cortex have been identified that are activated only when there is a face (monkey, human, or drawing) in the macaque’s visual field.For example, neurons in macaque visual cortex have been identified that are activated only when there is a face (monkey, human, or drawing) in the macaque’s visual field.
