The human brains in visual responses.

similitude - gnostic functions

What is this ?

The question asked by yourself is an emergence of consciousness (attention).

Your mind order now to your brain to search all visual files stored in the past in order to find if they have similar visual property in common with this image.

Consciousness will be in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules (hypothesis in materialism).
Can you agree that ?

"We expect that, at any moment in time, consciousness will correspond to a particular type of activity in a transicent set of neurons that are a fraction of a much layer of potential candidates."
The questions at the neural level then become:
* Where are these neurons in the brain?
* Are they of any particular neuronal type?
* What is special(if anything) about their connections?
* What is special(if anything) about the way they are firing?
(Koch and F.Crick)


* The visual pathway from the retina
   to the primary visual cortex.(continue)
