Neural Responses and Perception of External Reality
1:37:08 - 1:42:52 (05:43)
The perception of external reality is a neuronal abstraction and the neural responses become more complex as you move to the higher order areas like infra parietal cortex.

The brain is composed of different areas with varying functionalities - deep brain structures for basic functions, limbic structures for sensory gatekeeping, and higher order areas for advanced processes such as attention and sensory allocation.

Neuronal abstractions are needed for perception of external reality through laboratory experiments that involved animals watching dots move up and pressing a lever to indicate the direction of motion.

Summary
Neuronal abstractions are needed for perception of external reality through laboratory experiments that involved animals watching dots move up and pressing a lever to indicate the direction of motion. The animal's perception was based on the systematic map of neuron responses, showing that the perception of reality is a product of the brain's neural activity.
