Document Summary

We don"t just see lo(cid:449)-level visual features (i. e. colour, spatial frequencies, etc) Image jack black: even with the skewed colour, we still recognize who it. Also known as repetition suppression, adaptation, neural priming, and others. For repeated stimuli, the second neural response tends to be smaller (i. e. showing your brain two pictures of the same hammer, the second image will produce a weaker response purple and green graph) Brain region a: region that can differentiate between hammer and screwdriver (produces hammer followed by hammer = repetition suppression, but hammer then screwdriver = new neural response) Shape independently of contour lateral occipital complex (loc) kourtzi & kanwisher (2001) On each trial, two images were presented (see. Green (a) completely different (i. e. contour, shape, ) high response. Red (d) identical in all forms, see neural suppression (weaker response to second image) High level image is the same, but low-level features are different.
