One of the following statements is FALSE-but which one?
Correct answer: A. A system of channels can only signal preferred orientation of any single channel
- A. A system of channels can only signal preferred orientation of any single channel
- B. Perceptual information is likely to be merged via a process that combines the activities across all channels
- C. As part of the process of synthesis, channel activities are likely to be weighted according to the level of activity in each channel
- D. The merging process may find the 'center of gravity' of the distribution of activity
Explanation
A single channel signals its preferred orientation, but a whole channel system can represent a distribution of orientations through the combined activity of many channels. The remaining statements describe weighted integration or a population-code centre of gravity.
