Ever since the days of René Descartes, in the seventeenth century, the search for
the relationship between subjective perception and neural activity has been an
ongoing challenge. In neuroscience, an approach to the problem via the visual
system has produced a paradigm using perceptual suppression, changing with time.
Cortical areas in which the neural activity was modulated in temporal correlation
with this percept could be traced. Although these areas may lead directly to
perception, such temporal correlation of neural activity does not suffice as
ultimate proof that they actually do so. In this article, I will use a different
method to show that, for the perception of our own retina, any brain area leading
directly to this perception also needs to represent the retina without
distortion. Furthermore, I will demonstrate that the phenomenon of size constancy
must be realized in this area.
