THE DISTORTED IMAGE by David Whitteridge , F.R.S. Professor of Physiology in the University of Edinburgh
A television camera can produce an undistorted picture on the receiver screen. What happens when the eye sends a picture to the visual cortex of the brain? Professor Whitteridge claims it is systematically distorted and he explains how we are beginning to understand this distortion and the way the brain interprets the patterns.
