Question

if the hog starts running around on the field, what neural code does your visual brain area mt use to tell you the specific angle / vector / direction that the hog is moving?
rate code
population code
sparse code
temporal code

Explanation:

The middle - temporal (MT) area of the visual brain uses population code to represent the direction of motion. Population coding involves the activity of a group of neurons to encode information. Rate code refers to the firing rate of individual neurons, sparse code involves only a small subset of neurons being active, and temporal code is related to the timing of neural firing. In the case of representing motion direction in MT, it is the combined activity of a population of neurons that conveys the specific angle/vector/direction of motion.

Answer:

B. population code
