Question

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond differently to different faces. For example, Arthur's face causes three neurons to fire, with neuron 1 responding the most and neuron 3 responding the least. Roger's face causes three different neurons to fire, with neuron 7 responding the least and neuron 9 responding the most. Your results support ____ coding.a. specificity b. distributed c. convergence d. divergence

Answer 1

Distributed coding

Step-by-step explanation:

The different respond of a person's face is represent in the nervous system by the firing of a group of neurons each responding to a different number of faces, the concept of distributed neural coding proposes that a specific object like a face is represented across a number of neuron and only respond only to specific stimulus.
