ABSTRACT
In this chapter we move from psychophysical studies of inhomogeneity into the neural architecture that underlies it, and the fascinating mathematics that govern the whole system. Since Dr. Schwartz is the leading exponent of this field (and of the kind of computer modeling that makes it tractable), we could not have a better guide. The reader may note that this architectural approach to the visual system neatly complements the finer-scale, receptive-field approach described by Martinez-Uriegas in Chapter 4; both have important roles to play.
