Anatomical and physiological data from lower primates, and psychophysical data from humans, is used to construct a quantitative model of the local and global map structure (functional architecture) of human striate cortex. A series of successful estimates deriving from this model are reviewed, including a prediction for the width of human ocular dominance columns, which has recently been verified. A variety of perceptual phenomena are then discussed, from the point of view of cortical, rather than retinal, topography. It is suggested that the striate cortex may be viewed as a "cyclopean retina" whose non-linear map structure, summarized in terms of a concatenated complex logarithmic pattern, suggests insights into the nature of the Mackay complimentary image, the Frazer spiral, fortification illusions, and the relationship of the second order statistics of a visual stimulus to pre-attentive (textural) segmentation. Finally, the nature of neuronal representation is considered in the context of recent models of perceptual and cognitive function. It is suggested that anatomical re-mapping at successive stages of the CNS may provide a conceptual alternative to conventional single cell and connectionist models, and offers a viable approach towards a "field" theory of vision.
来自低等灵长类动物的解剖学和生理学数据，以及来自人类的心理物理学数据，被用于构建人类纹状皮层局部和全局图谱结构（功能架构）的定量模型。本文回顾了基于该模型得出的一系列成功估算结果，包括对人类眼优势柱宽度的预测，该预测最近已得到验证。然后从皮层而非视网膜地形图的角度讨论了各种感知现象。有人提出，纹状皮层可被视为一个“独眼视网膜”，其非线性图谱结构以串联的复对数模式概括，这为深入理解麦凯互补图像、弗雷泽螺旋、增强错觉以及视觉刺激的二阶统计量与前注意（纹理）分割之间的关系提供了线索。最后，在近期的感知和认知功能模型背景下考虑神经元表征的本质。有人提出，中枢神经系统连续阶段的解剖学重新映射可能为传统单细胞和联结主义模型提供一种概念上的替代方案，并为视觉“场”理论提供一种可行的方法。
