Abstract :
In the cerebral cortex which performs intellectual information processing of humans, the visual area which is concerned with vision as the most important information source is developed. First we give an outline about the visual information processing. The visual stimuli which are caught by the eyeball project on the retina as a 2D image. In the retina, it is translated to electric signals from the light signals by the photoreceptor, the so-called visual cells. The informations which are performed in the retina are transmitted to the lateral geniculate body (LGN), and arrive at V1. There is a regular partial structure, the so called hypercolumn (HC) in V1. It consists of the column about ocular dominance and an orientation. Neurons which respond to a contour are found in V2. This paper proposes the lower visual information processing model from the external world to V2 through the eyeball and V1. Two informations are transmitted by LGN in parallel processing from the eyeball to V1 in our model. Furthermore, we consider the representation in HC. We apply our proposed model to optical illusion in simulation
