Considering the retina as a high dimensional, non autonomous, dynamical system, layered and structured, with non stationary and spatially inhomogeneous entries (visual scenes), we present several examples where dynamical systems-, bifurcations-, and ergodic-theory provide useful insights on retinal behaviour and dynamics.
