Luminance and chromatic contributions to a hyperacuity task: isolation by contrast polarity and target separation.

abstract：:In teleost retina, the receptive fields of horizontal cell axon terminals have a larger space constant than the receptive fields of the horizontal cell somata. Generally this difference in receptive field size is attributed to the cell coupling which is assumed to be stronger in the horizontal axon terminal network th...

The magnitude of the abrupt drop is proportional to the square root of field intensity (square root of I) correct for bleaching and dark light. Thresholds are then stable out to 1.6 sec for ...
