A Simple Model of Optimal Population Coding for Sensory Systems
Figure 2
The number of output neurons is far more limited in the peripheral retina.
The graph shows the number of cone photoreceptors per midget RGC as a function of eccentricity in the macaque retina. The data at the fovea () and periphery (
) are from [93] and [70], respectively, and the smooth curve was a fit to the data using a cubic spline.
