愿景是一个能量驱动的过程

Vision as an Energy-Driven Process

Robert Pepperell

摘要:

人们经常认为,视觉的基本目的是从光中提取信息,并在大脑中进行处理,以获得有关环境物体的知识。将视觉视为信息驱动的过程,在视觉科学的许多领域都取得了丰硕的成果。但这种方法有其固有的局限性,可能不足以在最基本的层面上解释我们为什么和如何看到。能量是包括视觉在内的所有生物系统进化和运作的原动力,生理光学和实验心理学的早期研究人员认为视觉是一个能量驱动的过程。然而,迄今为止,几乎没有人试图从能量的角度来分析视觉的基本原理。本文是一个临时的尝试,勾勒出一个帐户的早期阶段的视觉作为一个能源驱动的过程。因此,视觉是一种生物工作形式,其中来自环境的能量被神经生物系统吸收和处理,以指导行为。视觉的进化和神经生物学的证据支持这种方法。我的结论是,把视觉作为一个能量驱动的过程,可以有助于我们理解其基本性质和运作。

英文摘要:

It is frequently assumed that the fundamental purpose of vision is to extract information from light and process it in the brain in order to gain knowledge about environmental objects. Treating vision as an information-driven process has been fruitful for many areas of vision science. But this approach has inherent limitations and may not be sufficient to explain at the most fundamental level why and how we see. Energy is a prime mover in the evolution and operation of all biological systems, including vision, and early researchers in physiological optics and experimental psychology regarded vision as an energy-driven process. Yet to date there has been little attempt to analyze the fundamentals of vision in energetic terms. This paper is a provisional attempt to sketch an account of the early stages of vision as an energy-driven process. On this account, vision is a form of biological work in which energy from the environment is absorbed and processed by neurobiological systems in order to guide behaviour. Evidence from the evolution and neurobiology of vision is presented in support of this approach. I conclude that treating vision as an energy-driven process can contribute to our understanding of its fundamental nature and operation.
