Document Summary
Figure out the object and what is it. All recognize that that is supposed to be an elephant and the other should be an apple. Perceiving through neurons firing in response to edges. What is part of objects and what is part of background. Put those together and those send information to other neurons. Neurons that respond to corners and fire and send it on to further neurons that respond to rectangular surfaces (floor, tables, etc) Further and further neurons at different levels of complexity. If hands were the other way around (palm versus back of the hand): it also responded but not as strongly. If you gave it a schematic hand (cannot tell if front or back): also responded, but not as strong. If you gave it a mitten, the neuron doesn"t respond. Halle berry: neuron responding only to images and text of halle berry.
