Document Summary
What is in our mind helps us to perceive the world as well. Image illustrating dalmation dog sniffing on the ground. Hard to perceive for some people but we see it once we know what it is we are looking at. Some ventral stream areas that help in vision are: So there is the dorsal stream and the ventral stream: The dorsal stream processes where processes have to do with spatial information and information that we can summarize as how we want to act upon it (such as grasping an object, etc. ) The ventral stream processes recognition, so what actually is the visual input and recognizing the objects. Path 1: middle vision putting together things. Low level vision and sorting and splitting information into different kinds of information to put them together, parallel processing, Path 2: high level vision identifying objects.
