Neural basis of the visual cortex and perception
The human brains ability to perceive the visual environment is a fascinating and complex process that involves the eyes and the brain. The visual cortex, located at the back of the brain, plays a crucial role in this process. This post explores the neural basis of the visual cortex and perception, including the role of neurons, retinotopic organization, parallel and hierarchical processing, as well as the challenges and limitations of studying visual perception. Case studies and potential applications of visual perception research are also discussed.
