Question

Sammy is conducting research that involves placing objects in the visual fields of visually impaired elderly men. He wants to discover the specific neurons that fire in response to the features of the various objects. The study requires electrodes to be implanted over the occipital lobes of the men's brains. In order to effectively conduct this study, sammy should place the electrodes over the men's ______________ lobes.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: occipital lobe

occipital lobe is the center of visual processing that exist within our brain. When people obtain an input from our visual sensory, we will send it to the occipital lobe and the input would be processed in and resulted in the awareness of what the object is. Damages in this area would make people falsely interpret what they see with another object.
