When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond differently to different faces. For example, Arthur's face causes three neurons to fire, with neuron 1 responding the most and neuron 3 responding the least. Roger's face causes the same three neurons to fire, with neuron 1 responding the least and neuron 3 responding the most. Your results support coding. Group of answer choices 1. Specificity 2. Population 3. Convergence 4. Divergence

Answer:

Divergence

Step-by-step explanation:

This happens because of the different genetic makeup or genotype of different individuals. The divergence mechanism occurs because of divergent evolution where in some cases random chances occurs and neurons became a source of stimulus for one but not other and vice versa.
