What is the function of cones in the eye?

• Detect movement in low light

• Perceive color and detail in bright light

• React to sound vibrations

• Control pupil dilation

Which sensory system is most vulnerable to permanent damage from overstimulation?

• Visual system

• Gustatory system

• Auditory system

• Somatosensory system

What is the term for how neurons extract visual features in a hierarchical way?

• Multisensory mapping

• Sensory distribution

• Processing hierarchy

• Cross-modal fusion

What is the role of the vestibular system?

• Controlling smell recognition

• Detecting sweet flavors

• Informing balance and acceleration

• Regulating body temperature

What is a key characteristic of bottom-up control?

• It is slow and deliberate

• It is directed by goals and expectations

• It starts with sensory input

• It requires working memory

What sensory system is responsible for detecting chemical compounds in food?

• Gustatory system

• Bottom-up processing

Why is it difficult to read text at the edge of a screen without directly looking at it?

• Rods are color-blind

• Visual periphery lacks receptors

• Rods are less detailed and located outside the fovea

• Cones are more light-sensitive than rods
