Document Summary
Perception is the process in which we recognize what is being represented by the sensory organs. Perception is an automatic process that occurs without our control. The brain mechanisms of visual perception: according to this. step by step the surroundings are analyzed into further detail the more you go along the steps until the whole scene is perceived. Then memory kicks in and the viewer recognizes objects and learns about new objects. For us to see things in their totality, the information from the modules must be combined in the visual association cortex. There are two streams of visual analysis: neurons of the primary visual cortex send axons to the region of the visual association cortex that surrounds the striate cortex. At this point, the visual association cortex divides into two streams: the ventral stream and the dorsal stream: the ventral stream continues forward and ends in the temporal cortex.
