Document Summary
Learn to break down the brain"s connectivity and responses by some computational principles. Sensors that are in contact with the environment that gather the information and send them to be processed by the cns and then are sent to the higher levels of the brain. What would you like to see in a communication system? a) b) c) d) Selectivity (to be able to identify patterns, objects) identify the moon, from the sun, from the stars. Speed- need to be able to process information quickly. (so that you can react) So your eyes are sensitive to light and compensate for darkness by widening pupils. Signal to noise ratio-what is a potential signal and what is just background noise i) Like how the pacinian corpuscles feel the initial signal and then just sets the signal to background noise. Mechanisms for selectivity- a way that the brain that the brain may be using to integrate information or compute a pattern a)
