A Two-Stage Scaffolding Model of Color and Luminance Development: Retinal Waves, Global Impoverishment, and Luminance-Grounded Object Representations

2026-07-25

Abstract excerpt

<p>How does the visual system construct object representations that are robust to the removal of color? I propose a two-stage scaffolding model. In Stage 1 (prenatal), retinal waves establish spectrally non-selective spatiotemporal contrast sensitivity, the necessary structural foundation of the visual system, before any visual experience occurs. Because the wave-generating circuitry encodes only contrasts in firi...
