Programmable active pixel sensor to investigate neural interactions within the retina [PDF]
, 2009 Detection of the visual scene by the eye and the resultant neural interactions of the retina-brain system give us our perception of sight. We have developed an Active Pixel Sensor (APS) to be used as a tool for both furthering understanding of these ...
