Document Summary
The recording of neural activity might offer direct communication between brains and machines. The system takes advantage of a large reliable response to moving visual stimuli. Visual evoked potential (vep) response to moving visual stimuli: by focusing on the boxes of interest, the vep acts as a way of confirming your selection. Is this evidence of conscious awareness in an unconscious individual: nachev and husain (2007) baseline condition of relax to which the active conditions are subtracted. Distribution: on one hand the brain is extremely dull, however within in there is approx 180 billion cells that are talking to one another. The space in between the pre and post synaptic nerve. For example increased luminance leads to increased firing. Simple cells respond to size, orientation and color. Complex cells respond to orientation and direction. End-stopped cells responds to orientation, direction and size.
