In early 1994, I began compiling a list of numbers to describe some of the major features of the visual pathways Many of the students in my classes at Stanford found such a list of numbers useful. Also, I planned to include the numbers inside the cover of my textbook,\u00a0Foundations of Vision<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Sinauer Press, e-mail to orders@sinauer.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In early 1995, on the spur of the moment, I sent a message to CVNET asking for numbers others found useful. Many people generously shared their work with me. Using my own values and these contributed values, I created one organized list of numbers. I have also compiled the much larger list of e-mail responses I received. The e-mail responses have been edited only slightly (personal annotations were removed; also, longer addresses including fax numbers and so forth were removed). Both of these lists can be obtained by clicking below.<\/p>\n

The numbers on this list are not precisely accurate, and some may even be wrong-headed. If you wish to make additions to the list, please feel free to send me a message and I will try to post your message or a correction to this list.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all of who replied to my query. If you who would like to take over managing this list of numbers, please send me a message.<\/p>\n
