Visual acuity of the cat

Visual acuity of the cat

A behavioural test of the cat's ability to discriminate high luminance, high contrast square-wave gratings indicates that the threshold for spatial resolution is about 8–9 c/deg. This value is higher than previous behavioural and most physiological estimates of the cat's visual acuity but...

Zusammenfassung:A behavioural test of the cat's ability to discriminate high luminance, high contrast square-wave gratings indicates that the threshold for spatial resolution is about 8–9 c/deg. This value is higher than previous behavioural and most physiological estimates of the cat's visual acuity but is lower than the theoretical limits of resolution proposed by anatomical and recent optical studies.
