  2. Vernacular geography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernacular_geography

    Vernacular regions reflect a "sense of place," but rarely coincide with established jurisdictional borders. [3] Examples of vernacular regions in the United States include Tidewater, also known as Hampton Roads, Siouxland, and the Tri-City area of Batavia, Geneva, and St. Charles, Illinois. Another can be the American South, since it can be non ...

  3. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    The term third visual complex refers to the region of cortex located immediately in front of V2, which includes the region named visual area V3 in humans. The "complex" nomenclature is justified by the fact that some controversy still exists regarding the exact extent of area V3, with some researchers proposing that the cortex located in front ...

  4. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The default mode network is a network of brain regions that are active when an individual is awake and at rest. The visual system's default mode can be monitored during resting state fMRI : Fox, et al. (2005) found that " the human brain is intrinsically organized into dynamic, anticorrelated functional networks" , [ 43 ] in which the visual ...

  5. Cultural area - Wikipedia

    Functional cultural regions, which share political, social, and/or cultural functions. Perceptual, or vernacular, cultural regions, which are based in spatial perception. One example is Braj region of India, which is seen as a spatial whole due to common religious and cultural associations with the specific area.

  6. Perceptual mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_mapping

    Multidimensional perceptual maps are built with more dimensions visualised as profile charts in small map regions, and then items are mapped to the regions by their similarity to the vectors that represent the region. A common technique to construct this kind of multidimensional perceptual maps is the self-organizing map. This helps pinpoint ...

  7. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    Visual perception is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment through photopic vision (daytime vision), color vision, scotopic vision (night vision), and mesopic vision (twilight vision), using light in the visible spectrum reflected by objects in the environment.

  8. Figure–ground (perception) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure–ground_(perception)

    The perceptual decision in which the brain decides which item is the figure and which are part of the ground in a visual scene can be based on many cues, all of which are of a probabilistic nature. For instance, size assists in distinguishing between the figure and the ground, as smaller regions are often (but not always) figures.

  9. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    The fourth compartment contains the nucleus and is a continuation of the IS region, known as the nuclear region. Finally, the fifth compartment is the synaptic region, where it acts as a final terminal for the signal, consisting of synaptic vesicles. In this region, glutamate neurotransmitter is transmitted from the cell to secondary neuron cells.
