Document Summary

Turing light in to biochemical features that the brain can work with. All demons that can process information do, and they work simultaneously to do so.

It will recognize letters in spite changes in size, orientation, and other distortions.

Implementation of a bottom-up processing model: meaningless system: knowledge about the world plays no role, knowledge greatly influences our ability to recognize, ex. A prof may recognize a student in class, but most likely not in the grocery.
