Document Summary

Simple cells are plentiful and mostly respond to like bars and edges, not sensitive to color. Complex cells, if the stimulus is in their receptive field they"ll fire, if not it wont. You cant make mental images either if you don"t have a functioning v1. You need this cortex to represent this world * The next step in processing respond to illusory contours, very sensitive to colors, responds to more complex stimuli. (or any stimuli at that) Past sensation and starting to go into perception. This is still in the occipital lobe tho. Occipital lobe, in prime apes could extend out to temporal lobed but not humans. Slight differences are sensitive to this cell. Doesn"t care too much about shape but more motion. Ventral stream, dorsal stream coming out of the occipital lobe. V4 is the major part that send info to the temporal cortex.
