The EBA is an area whose neurons respond to pictures of bodies and parts of bodies. same neurons to not respond to faces, however. 4. A movement module: The Middle Temporal (MT) area. Neurons in the MT area respond to moving stimuli. They’re tuned for the direction of movement each responds best to movement in a particular – direction. They’re also tuned for speed each responds best to movement at a particular speed. – Damage to the MT area affects the ability to perceive and respond to moving stimuli. Modules for Memory and Visual Images G9 p 89 The Hippocampus is an area of the intimately involved in the memory of scenes. Patient M.H. Hippocampus in each hemisphere was removed to cure epileptic seizures. Lost – ability to remember more than a few minutes of experience. There is also evidence that neurons in the hippocampus respond to specific concepts concepts – which might be activated by many visual images of the same concept such as the concept of – Jennifer Anniston, Sydney Opera House, Halle Barry, etc. The role of Experience and neural activity of modules G9 p 91 The Greeble Experiments – fMRI records showed changes in response of FFA neurons to presentation of Greeble faces after experience with Greebles.
