Anatomy
the number of lobes in the brain
What is 4 lobes
The retinal cell that responds to light. This is the first step in visual processing.
What is a photoreceptor
True or False. EEG is a functional method
True
The functional unit of the brain
What is the neuron
The two visual processing streams
What is dorsal and ventral
Tissue consisting mainly of fibers from neuron axons
What is white matter
The cell who's axons form the optic nerve
What is ganglion cells
What is invasive
What is a neurotransmitter
The neurological condition where someone is unable to recognize faces
What is prosopagnosia
What is the corpus callosum
Primary visual cortex (V1) contains a map of the ...
What is the visual field
Methods that provide high anatomical detail are said to have
What is high spatial resolution
The pale lipid that coats the axon to increase the speed of the neural impulse
What is the myelin sheath
(Or what is myelin)
Object recognition occurs in the ____________ lobe.
What is the temporal lobe
folds in the cortex
What is sulci
2 differences between rods and cones
Cones process color, rods do not.
Cones are found in the fovea, rods in the periphery
What is high temporal resolution
The stage of an action potential when the membrane potential is rapidly increasing
The process in which higher-level cortex makes predictions about visual information.
Top-down processing.
The junction between neurons which transmits nerve impulses between two cells.
What is a synapse
False. Each visual cortex processes info from the opposite visual field (but this info comes from both eyes).
The biological metric that functional MRI (fMRI) measures to determine brain activity
What is blood flow
The main ion that leaves the cell during repolarization
Potassium (K+)
The similarity between AI and human visual processing.
Information is processed in a hierarchy
