They wanted to see primary visual cortex -> they investigated in cats [ similar to human perception: trying to find neuron that response to specific things. At centre of neuron there will be large activation. Neuron was activated for specific shade,direction and light. Found that over time -> neurons become more and more advance and complex: what they theorized that this is how we construct faces and objects -> as you progress you add more and more complex things. Monday, february 27, 2017: cognition vs. neuroscience : we know feature detector will be added together to inform us how we see faces -> aim is to find specific neruons and area that govern [ listen again 28:00:00]
