In visual cortex, columns {hypercolumn} of 100 cells, one millimeter diameter, can detect stimuli from one spot in visual field, from both eyes. Hypercolumn can detect orientation, from 0 to 180 degrees, and depth, and so perspective, size, shape, and surfaces. Hypercolumn macrocolumns can receive from left or right eye. Hypercolumn cells use several visual-field region sizes. Cells can be simple, complex, and hypercomplex.
