Vision in Monkeys after Removal of the Striate Cortex
Abstract
Monkeys deprived of their visual cortex (area 17) have been thought to be unable to discriminate much more than ``total luminous energy''. In particular, they have been considered incapable of localizing visual events in space. It has now been shown that they can be trained to detect and accurately reach out for objects of certain kinds presented visually.
