Lateral
Inhibition Effects. Illustration of how center-surround
receptive fields can explain several visual illusions such as Mach
Bands, Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet Effect and how gradual contours are not
perceived. (straight to applet)
Mach Bands. Try a simple
experiment to help you observe Mach Bands
Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet
and Minimal Contours. Illustration of two more of the perceptual
phenomena that center-surround receptive fields help us understand.
Simple and
Complex Cells. Stimulate and examine the response properties
of these idealized simple and complex cells with a wide variety of
stimuli.
Simple
and Complex Advanced. A more realistic model of simple and
complex cells and you do not know which it is. You have to
determine it by its behavior.
