Brev, I think that is probably a coincidence. Also, it isn't clear to me how a 4x5 image is ideal for a human eye, wouldn't it depend on how far the image is from the eye?
An amazing fact that I often mention is that in humans with normal vision the areal size of V1 can vary by a factor of 3! Several sources have reported this. Apparently people with large V1s have somewhat higher visual acuity but vision is normal in all.

Subject: [nupic-discuss] V1 physical size Hi all, Quick random question: In On Intelligence, Jeff mentions that V1 is roughly the physical size of a US Passport (3.5" x 5") I've heard that in Professional Photography, the 4" x 5" film slide or negative is known as the "ideal" resolution for the human eye. Just curious if there might be any relation between the sizes? Thanks, Brev
