Neuroergonomics of Visual Perception: The Scientific Legacy of Yu. E. Shelepin (On the Occasion of His 80th Birthday)

This article discusses the contributions of Professor Yuri E. Shelepin, a prominent Russian neurophysiologist and laureate of the A.A. Ukhtomsky Prize of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2021) to studying visual perception mechanisms. By analysing key areas of his scientific work (neuro-iconography, neural network organization, visocontrastometry), the article illustrates the emergence of new paradigms in vision physiology. Special attention is devoted to methodological innovations and their practical applications in ophthalmology, neurology, and neuroergonomics.
