正如本次银禧特刊所充分说明的那样，视觉系统研究的历史是一部拒绝“我们看到世界本来面目”的天真的现实主义者观点的历史（Holt，1912）。视觉选择性已成为进化过程的主要结果。我们所理解的人类视觉感知是基于为我们创造一个充满信息的视觉世界的机制，这个世界不能仅用刺激环境的特征来描述。我们的视觉系统根据波长和空间频率以高度选择性的方式过滤输入。不同的机制选择性地对刺激亮度和视网膜轮廓的运动做出反应。为了创建一个物体的感知世界，可以通过它们的大小、形状和色调来识别物体的适应性兴趣，大量的潜在信息被丢弃，这些物体可能在与我们自己的身体、头部和眼睛的运动相关的更大的视觉环境中移动。视觉抑制现象可以适当地被视为视觉系统选择信息的一种手段。在许多正常条件下感知到的刺激在与刺激的时间顺序、受刺激的视网膜区域、刺激的形式和亮度*特征以及感知者的动眼行为相关的某些条件下不会被感知。
The history of research on visual systems, as abundantly illustrated in this Silver Jubilee Issue, is a history of the rejection of the naive realist’s view that “we see the world as it is”(Holt, 1912). The selectivity of vision has emerged as a primary outcome of the evolutionary process. Human visual perception as we understand it is based upon mechanisms that create for us an information-laden visual world, a world that is not to be described by the characteristics of the stimulus en~ ronment alone. Our visual systems filter input based upon wavelength and spatial frequency in highly selective ways. Different mechanisms respond selectively to stimulus luminance and to the movement of contours across the retina, Enormous amounts of potential info~ ation are discarded in the adaptive interest of creating a perceptual world of objects, identifiable by their sizes, shapes, and hues, which may move through the larger visual environment in relation to our own movements of body, head, and eyes.The phenomenon of visual suppression may appropriately be regarded as one means by which the visual system selects information. Stimuli which are perceived under many normal conditions are not perceived under certain conditions related to the temporal sequence of stimulation, the retinal areas stimulated, the form and luminance* characteristics of the stimuli, and the oculomotor behavior of the perceiver.
