Weeks 1 + 2 - Principals & Methods + Body Senses & Chemical Senses

A cell that is tuned to respond to vertical lines will only ever respond to a vertical line in it's receptive field.

Using the Method of Constant Stimuli - 2AFC paradigm, the threshold is considered to be when the participant is correct...

If you double a stimulus, our perception of the intensity of that stimulus will also double.

The [blank_start]Meissner/Merkel[blank_end] receptors respond best to light touch.

What are some of the mechanisms in proprioception and kinaesthesia?

Sensors for temperature are slower than the tactile sensors.

The semicircular canals contain a bundle of hair cells called...

The Ultricle and Saccule each contain a patches of hair cells called..

Mitral cells will receive signals from various types of smell receptor types.

Mitral cells connect to the piriform cortex and also project to the amygdala after passing through the thalamus.

The smell we percieve, be it coffee, baking bread or some flowers, is a result of...
