The concept of distributed neural coding proposes that a specific object, like a face, is represented across a number of

a. microelectrodes.
b. stimuli.
c. modalities.
d. neurons.

Question 2

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond differently to different faces. For example, Arthur's face causes three neurons to fire, with neuron 1 responding the most and neuron 3 responding the least. Roger's face causes three different neurons to fire, with neuron 7 responding the least and neuron 9 responding the most. Your results support coding.

a. specificity
b. distributed
c. sparse
d. divergence
