Research Abstract

In the present study, we analyzed the relationship between statistical characteristics of visual images and their retinal representations, and perceptual properties of human vision, in order to elucidate the characteristics of human visual system. Our analysis showed that the retinal representations of static visual images changed as the images moved, and the change in the representations accorded with those in the perceptual properties observed by human subjects.
