Study Notes
Visual Processing
- The occipital lobe is responsible for processing visual information.
- The primary visual cortex is also known as V1.
Visual Streams
- Two streams of visual information are relayed from the occipital lobe: the dorsal stream and the ventral stream.
- The dorsal stream processes the spatial components of vision, such as location and movement.
- The ventral stream allows us to identify the content or meaning of visual information, such as recognizing objects.
Tactile Processing
- The parietal lobe processes touch in the brain.
