Answer to Question 1

Answer: Two benefits of using populations of neurons presented in the text are (1) a population of neurons allows for a graded response instead of an all-or-none response, and (2) neurons are sensitive to more than one feature.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The three elements of an image are spatiotemporal window, storage units, and stored information. Images are bound to a specific location in space and time. The spatiotemporal window refers to these constraints. Storage units contain information about a specific area of the larger spatiotemporal window. They collect information from the various storage units to make up the content of the image.
