Figure 14. Nonlinear subunits in a receptive field.

Figure 14

(a) The receptive field of a RGC can be broken into subunits that correspond to the receptive fields of each bipolar cell connecting to the RGC. (b) A subretinal prosthesis with small enough pixels can activate independent subunits, which then sum up nonlinearly in the retinal ganglion cell.
