Abstract: | The first stage of visual processing occurs in the retina, the function of which is to process the raw information obtained
from the outside world. In the present study, the electrical activities of a group of retinal ganglion cells were recorded
from a small functioning piece of retina, using multi-electrode array (MEA), and the action potentials were detected by applying
nonlinear algorithm. By analyzing the ensemble retinal ganglion output characteristics, it is revealed that both firing rates
and correlated activity between adjacent neurons in the retina contribute to visual information encoding. |
