Abstract
The identification of magnocellular and parvocellular channels within the primate visual system has prompted attempts to correlate the results of psychophysical experiments with the properties of these channels. Despite the relatively clear differences in channel properties, there is currently disagreement about the assignment of various tasks to the different channels.
