A) Young and Helmholtz.
B) Hering.
C) Hubel and Wiesel.
D) Gibson and Walk.

Feature Detector Cells

Neurons in the visual cortex that respond selectively to specific features of visual stimuli, such as lines, edges, or movement.

Visual Information

Data perceived through the sense of sight, including colors, patterns, and movements, which are processed by the visual cortex in the brain.

Hubel and Wiesel

Two neuroscientists, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel, known for their groundbreaking work on the neural mechanisms of vision, for which they received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
