Video lectures for "A quick introduction to what is known about biological vision experimentally ".

this is mainly from chapter 2 of the book "Understanding Vision: theory, models, and data" .

This material is a quick introduction to biological vision.

The video clips below are listed by the rough order in which their topics appear in the textbook. It is feasible, although much less convenient, to learn all the essentials of the materials without access to the textbook (which is available in many university libraries).

The detailed shorter video clips (about 10 minutes each)
