Neocortex and Perception

Xiao Huang: DOORM, how does the neocortex affect our perception abilities?

DOORM: The neocortex plays a crucial role in perception. It is responsible for processing sensory perceptions and cognitive activities, ranging from visual objects to abstract concepts. By processing information in layers, the neocortex can transform sensory inputs into meaningful cognitive experiences. This ability allows mammals, especially humans, to understand complex environments and social structures and engage in rational thinking and language communication.
