Lateral Inhibition (2044 words) |
 | Lateral inhibition helps to explain a number of "optical illusions" and, more importantly, provides an excellent example of how the brain is organized to actively "make sense" of the information it gets, rather than to simply absorb and respond to it. |
| A very interesting and important property of a lateral inhibition network (compare the output plots at the bottom of both figures) is that their outputs will be pretty much the same in the two cases. |
| Lateral inhibition networks are operating as part of the "unconscious" brain, and largely without providing any information to the "conscious" part of the brain about what they are doing. |
