The retina, a part of the brain, shows a large and unexpected computing capacity, including predictive coding for flash series, motion, direction and selectivity which leads to several questions about the nature for the neural code involved. This project report provides a study of the retina in response to evoked pattern of flashes for different time cycles. Experimentally, multi-electrodes were used to record the spike activity of a population of retinal ganglion cells. Reponse analyses were carried out by using spike time to peak characterization showing principally retinal ON way changes. We discuss the ganglion cells responses and we relate it to either a possible memory mechanism or adaptative mechanism.
