Neuroscience and the Mind 2020 Revision notes and questions for the Sensation and Perception section of the subject SJC My section of the course was focused on the relationship between the behavior that we experience and can measure, and the underlying neurophysiology of the (visual) system. I used colour vision as an example and in particular the search for a physiological explanation for the most simple visual processes. Below are some questions to guide your revision. The answers are not given as some of these questions are remarkably similar to those on the exam and I don’t want to make it too easy! 1. A cardinal colour space was defined on the basis of … 2. Orthogonality in the vector representation of signal-coding confers which of the following properties upon that stage of the system? 3. The physiological basis for cardinal colour sensitivity is found in 4. The problem with colour vision is 5. The term “opponency” refers to.. 6. What is red? 7. Neurones in the LGN cannot be the physiological substrate for the cardinal axes because.. 8. Neurones in primary visual cortex (V1) cannot be the physiological substrate for the cardinal axes because.. 9. The fundamental crux of the argument between Hering and Helmholtz was.. 10. The relationship between our experience and the ensemble of neural responses mediating that experience is… 11. #TheDress is an example of… 12. Colour constancy confers what benefits upon the organism 13. In the context of the ‘local’ versus ‘distributed’ processing debate 14. The Jennifer Aniston neurone is…. 15. A cardinal colour is…. 16. Colour vision is not necessarily a good example of categorical perception because…. 17. The binding problem might not be a problem because… 18. Trichromacy is ... 19. The abbreviations L, M and S refer to what property of the cones? 20. What aspect of the relationship between the LGN and cortical V1 suggests distributed coding may be particularly important for colour vision?...
