Retinal origins of parallel pathways in the primate visual system Wednesday, September 23, 2015 Sherry, 2002 1 Parallel pathways in the retina Several different images of the outside world are sent simultaneously via parallel pathways from the eye to the brain. Parallel processing in FLUENT involves an interaction between FLUENT, a host process, and a set of compute-node processes. This project is the umbrella for a large research program encompassing behavioral, eye-tracking, modelling, and neuroimaging experiments as part of an ERC Advanced Grant looking at parallel orthographic and sentence processing during reading. The PI on this project is Jonathan Grainger. PMID: 10605397 The outside layer of the eye is a tough white protective layer called the sclera (more commonly known as the “white of the eye"). FLUENT interacts with the host process and the collection of compute nodes using a utility called cortexthat manages FLUENT’s user interface and basic graphical functions. The cornea is the transparent window in this white sac which allows the objects you are looking at to be carried in the form of light waves into the interior of the eye. PARALLEL PROCESSING: Sometimes They Look Like Tweedledum and Tweedledee but They Can (and Should) be Distinguished PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE Research Article James T. Townsend Department of Psychological Sciences, Purdue University Abstract- A number of important models of information pro- cessing depend on whether processing is serial or parallel. The study of eye movements has proven to be one of the most successful approaches in research on reading. • allows sensory info to travel The process behind our vision: "The eye is a container,” says Richard Rosen, M.D., a vitreoretinal surgeon at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, in New York City. Visual information might be processed in parallel pathways which can generally be described as the “what pathway” (the ventral pathway) and the “where/how” pathway (the dorsal pathway). The results are more in line with parallel processing limited by the extent to which the parafoveal word processing on fixation n can be combined with the foveal word processing on fixation n + 1.

This is commonly referred to as parallel processing, and starts as early as the first synapse of the retina, the cone … Our eyes send different 'images' of the outside world to the brain - an image of contours (line drawing), a colour image (watercolour painting) or an image of moving objects (movie). In addition, there was a spill-over effect of word n to word n + 1, and there was an element of parallel processing of both words. In this overview, it is argued that a major reason for this success is that eye movement measurement is not just a methodology—the control of eye movements is actually part and parcel of the dynamics of information processing within the task of reading itself. Parallel Processing The simultaneous distribution of info across different neural pathways. Parallel processing happens when our senses take in stimuli from different senses at the same time, and the information is processed and understood all at once. The eye is enclosed by a tough white sac, the sclera.
