Cortical Processing Of Contrast

Cortical Processing of Contrast is a neurophysiological construct that refers to the mechanism by which the primary and higher visual cortical areas differentially encode and interpret contrast information from visual stimuli, distinguishing it from peripheral or retinal processing by involving central neural computations that modulate contrast perception and sensitivity in the aging visual system.
