For most of us,auditory areas that process rhythmic and musical sounds are located in the right temporal lobe.

The tips of taste receptor cells are termed microvilli.

The field of psychophysics is primarily concerned with developing scales to measure the intensity of a stimulus.

Neurons in area VI are specialized for encoding edge orientation.

With respect to light,purity refers to the number of distinct wavelengths that make up the light.

Red is to violet as a loud sound is to a soft sound.

Neurons in area VI are specialized for encoding the emotional meaning of a visual stimulus.
