abstract：:A light beam hitting the retina produces an excitatory process; however, around the edge of the light beam, sensory cells are inhibited and lose their sensitivity. This combination of stimulation and inhibition produces a discrepancy between the luminance pattern presented to the eye and the brightness pattern that is...
