Claim 13:
14. The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein
the correlation calculator module is configured to calculate, as the rolling window correlation for each of the at least one sequence of concatenated B-scan layers, a respective three-dimensional array of combined correlation values, each three-dimensional array of combined correlation values comprising one-dimensional arrays that have been calculated using sections of A-scans that are identically located in respective B-scans of the sequence of B-scans, and
the response generator module is configured to generate the indication of the response to the light stimulus of a respective layer of the retina corresponding to each of the at least one sequence of concatenated B-scan layers by:
converting the three-dimensional array of combined correlation values to a two-dimensional array of combined correlation values by replacing each of the one-dimensional arrays of combined correlation values in the three-dimensional array with a respective single value that is an average of the combined correlation values in the one-dimensional array, the two-dimensional array of combined correlation values indicating the response of the retina to the light stimulus as a function of location along the scanned region of the retina and time.
