Visual Processing Pathway (Eye, LGN, Visual Cortex, Dorsal and Ventral)

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Two things that come with Perception of constructing reality   Perception Akinetopsia  
🗑
Define Perception   Allows us to interoperate the world around us  
🗑
What happens with Akintopsia?   You see things in sequenced rays rather than smoothly  
🗑
What do your senses pickup?   Touch: pressure Sound: Airwave disturbances Taste: chemical Smell: Chemical Vision: waves  
🗑
Environment to the brain process   1) Stimulus from external 2)Receptors of periphery 3)Thalamus 4)primary cortex 5)beyond Eye-> Thalamus-> Occipital cortex  
🗑
What helps us see?   Cornea and Lens work with light in order for retina to process the information being seen  
🗑
What is the Retina made up of   Photoreceptors (cones and rods) Ganglion cells Bipolar cells  
🗑
Define Rods   Low light active color-blind None in the fovea  
🗑
Define Cones   High Light active In fovea Short, medium, Long  
🗑
Define Red-blue Colorblindness   Missing medium cones or they don't work  
🗑
What are the colors of each cone?   Short: Blue Medium: Green Long: Red  
🗑
Define Fovea   Many cones few rods details and color  
🗑
T or F, Saccades and Fixations don't allow the fovea to move in order for the fovea to capture images   F  
🗑
Define blind spot   The optic nerve ends No photoreceptors  
🗑
What happens to center surround cells in the LGN/ Thalamus   Center: Faster firing rates Surrounding: slower firing rates Whole: Constant, nothing  
🗑
What makes up the visual processing pathways   Thalamus Visual Coding Dot Detectors  
🗑
Define Parallel Processing   Speed Mutual influence requires multiple systems  
🗑
What is LGN ?   Lateral Geniculate nucleus Responsible for vision confirmation sensory signals from the body goes to opposite hemispheres  
🗑
Define visual coding   single celled relationship between stimulus and nervous system response  
🗑
Role of MT   Sensitive to speed of movement  
🗑
Role of V4   sensitive to color and shape  
🗑
Role of V1   Edge detection ' First cortical representation  
🗑
Define Multiple Receptive fields   Orientation= edge Motion=movement corners angles less similarity=less firing  
🗑
What system is known as the ___   Ventral system  
🗑
Define Ventral System   connected to occipital lobe and inferotemporal cortex Aids in identification of visual objects FFA and PPA Damage= visual agnosia (difficult recognizing objects  
🗑
Where system is known as ___   Dorsal system  
🗑
T or F, Damage to Ventral system = visual agnosia   T  
🗑
T or F, Damage to Dorsal system= visual ataxia   T  
🗑
define the dorsal system   connected to occipital and posterior parietal cortex Knowing in where objects are located Damage= Difficulty reaching objects (visual ataxia)  
🗑
Patient D.F. had damaged her ventral stream which meant she could draw pictures from memory but not   copy and object exactly or recognize her own drawings  
🗑
Define The Binding problem   seeing similar colors or letters and mistaking them Conjunction error  
🗑
3 way in solving the binding problem is   Spatial position Neural synchrony Attention  
🗑
Define neural synchrony   Group of brain cells firing at the same time  
🗑
T or F, Insufficient attention doesn't lead to conjunction errors   F  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
