Retinal and post-retinal contributions to the Quantum efficiency of the human eye revealed by electrical neuroimaging

Retinal and post-retinal contributions to the Quantum efficiency of the human eye revealed by electrical neuroimaging

The retina is one of the best known quantum detectors with rods able to reliably respond to single photons. However, estimates on the number of photons eliciting conscious perception, based on signal detection theory, are systematically above these values after discounting by retinal losses. One pos...
