PY - 2021 T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - THE HUMAN BRAIN HAS AN AMAZING ability to direct action to objects in the visual world—a baby reaching for an object, a tennis player hitting a ball, an artist looking at a model. This ability requires that the visual system solve three problems: making a spatially accurate analysis of the visual world, choosing the object of interest from the welter of stimuli in the visual world, and transferring information on the location and details of the object to the motor system.
