Much is known about the initial stages of visual processing up to the striate cortex, but how is visual information represented and handled at subsequent stages? Phenomena of contour, color and movement perception have been used to identify functions of neurons and to reveal functional differences between cortical areas that application of classical receptive-field concepts has not suggested. These differences can be related to theoretical stages of visual processing that provide stability of perception under changing conditions of stimulation.
关于视觉处理直至纹状皮层的初始阶段，我们已经了解很多，但在后续阶段视觉信息是如何被表征和处理的呢？轮廓、颜色和运动感知现象已被用于识别神经元的功能，并揭示经典感受野概念所未表明的皮层区域之间的功能差异。这些差异可能与视觉处理的理论阶段相关，这些阶段在不断变化的刺激条件下提供感知的稳定性。
