Gaussian


Definition:

  • (19) If the spatiochromatic mechanisms are assumed to have Gaussian spatial profiles, we obtain one mechanism with broad spatial frequency tuning and one with narrow tuning.
  • (20) The Gaussian white noise and the sum-of-sinusoids methods of systems analysis provide equivalent descriptions of nearly linear and strongly nonlinear transductions in the cat retina.

Normal


Definition:

  • (a.) According to an established norm, rule, or principle; conformed to a type, standard, or regular form; performing the proper functions; not abnormal; regular; natural; analogical.

  • (a.) Denoting that series of hydrocarbons in which no carbon atom is united with more than two other carbon atoms; as, normal pentane, hexane, etc. Cf. Iso-.
  • (a.) Any perpendicular.
  • (a.) A straight line or plane drawn from any point of a curve or surface so as to be perpendicular to the curve or surface at that point.
