2. Visual Information Processing What is the Retina??
Brain tissue that migrates to the eye.
It processes information before routing it via the thalamus to the brains cortex.

3. How the retinas layer process?
They pass along electrical impulses.
Help to encode and analyze the sensory information.

4. Feature Detection
Nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement.
One temporal lobe area just behind your right ear enables you to perceive faces.
If this region were damage, you would have difficulty recognizing familiar faces but could recognize other objects.

5. The processing of several aspects of a problem simultaneously.
Parallel Processing
The processing of several aspects of a problem simultaneously.
The brain divides a visual scene into sub dimensions such as color, depth, movement, and form
To recognize a face the brain integrates information that the retina projects to several visual cortex areas.

6. Brain matches the constructed image with stored images
Recognition
Abstraction
Brain higher-level cells respond to combined information from feature-detector cells.
Brain matches the constructed image with stored images

7. David Milnec Psychologist of the University of Durham.
He describes that the brains two visual systems as “one that gives us our conscious perceptions, and on that guides our actions”.
