BIOLOGY ORIGIN OF INTELLIGENT LIFE -PART -2 The weight of evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness -D Edelman The idea is that thanks to mirror neurons we are first able to observe an action,then understand the underlying intention Procedural memory and voluntary action in animals Animals have different types of working memory in the form of modules. Thus the visual module has a hierarchy of neurons of different types,such as simple cells.complex cells,bipolar cells. Simple cells can form lines. But at edges involving intersection of lines the assymetrical input activates complex cells and they form the edges by combining inputs of two simple cells.This forms an image.Objects are recognized by a neural program. The memory of the object or its line orientation and edges from memory are enhanced in visual cortex. When a match occurs with visual input search is successfull. However objects require...
