Spatial Freq

• Snellen fraction notation is used to describe visual acuity, where the numerator represents the size of the letter viewed by the patient and the denominator represents the size of the letter viewed by someone with normal visual acuity.
• Snellen charts use rows of letters where the bottom row contains only one letter, while other rows contain more than one letter.
• Orientation tuning curves show how much a cell responds as a function of its preferred orientation.
• Visual acuity is measured using an optotype chart with letters or symbols of varying sizes.
• Normal visual acuity is defined as being able to read the smallest line on the Snellen chart at a distance of 6 meters.
• Complex cells have larger receptive fields than simple cells and respond better to more complex patterns of light.
• The visual system has different spatial frequencies that it processes differently.
• Cones have smaller receptive fields than rods, resulting in higher spatial acuity.
• Visual acuity is measured using an eye chart that displays letters of different sizes.
• Simple cells have receptive fields that respond best when stimulated by light moving along their preferred axis.
• Receptive field size increases as we move away from the fovea.
• Visual acuity is determined by the size of the receptive fields of ganglion cells in the retina.
• Contrast sensitivity function describes our ability to detect contrast changes as a function of spatial frequency.
• Visual acuity is measured using an eye chart that displays letters or symbols of varying sizes.
• We have better contrast sensitivity at low frequencies than high frequencies.
• Visual acuity measures how well we can distinguish fine details.
• The Snellen chart has been standardized since 1862 and is widely used around the world.
• Simple cells have narrowly tuned orientation preference, while complex cells respond best to multiple orientations.
• Visual acuity refers to how clearly we see objects or details.
• Contrast sensitivity is typically expressed in terms of contrast threshold, which is the minimum difference in luminance required to detect a target against a background.
• The Snellen Fraction Notation is commonly used to measure visual acuity, where the top number represents the size of the object being viewed by the person being tested and the bottom number represents the size of the same object as seen by someone with perfect eyesight.
• The minimum angle of resolution (MAR) refers to the smallest angular separation between two points that can be resolved by the human eye.
• The Snellen fraction notation describes visual acuity based on the size of the letters seen compared to those seen by someone with normal visual acuity.
• The human eye has two types of photoreceptor cells - rods and cones.
• The receptive field of a neuron refers to the area on the retina that can influence its firing rate.
• In the Snellen Fraction Notation, if the top number is equal to the bottom number, it means that the individual has perfect visual acuity.
• Increasing the contrast between black and white can improve visual acuity.
• The MAR depends on various factors such as pupil diameter, retinal illumination, and spatial frequency.
• Normal visual acuity is defined as being able to read the top line on an eye chart from a distance of 20 feet away.
• Simple cells are sensitive to lines oriented in specific directions.
• Rods are responsible for vision in dim lighting conditions and do not contribute to color perception.
• Contrast sensitivity refers to our ability to distinguish two stimuli that differ slightly in luminance.
• Low-spatial-frequency information is processed by magnocellular neurons, which are sensitive to motion but not color.
• Spatial frequency refers to the number of cycles per unit length or width of a pattern.
• Receptive fields can be classified into three categories based on their response properties: ON-center, OFF-center, and center-surround.
• Spatial frequency refers to the number of cycles per unit length or time period.
• Spatial frequencies are represented by cycles per degree (cpd).
• Cones are responsible for color vision and require brighter lighting conditions.
• Ganglion cell receptive fields are larger at the periphery compared to the center of the visual field.
• Low-spatial-frequency stimuli are processed by magnocellular neurons, while high-spatial-frequency stimuli are processed by parvocellular neurons.
