Document Summary
It"s important to consider two cells, each receiving stimulation from a brightly lit area: one cell is receiving its stimulation from the middle of the lit area. It is intensely stimulated, but so are its neighbors: results with all cells being active and therefore, each one is trying to inhibit is neighbors, only direct neighbors of one cell is intense stimulated. It"s obviously highlighting the information that defines an object"s shape: a procedure through which investigators can record, movement by movement, the pattern of electrical changes within a single neuron, example, the animal being studied is first immobilized. In each case, these orientations merely define the cells" preference because these cells are not oblivious to edge of other orientation. If feature analysis is an early step in your analysis of the visual world: integrative agnosia, patients appear relatively normal in tasks requiring them simply to detect features in a display.
