Although a single simple cell would be unable to unambiguously determine the orientation of a bar,due to its inability to independently code orientation and contrast,a can resolve the ambiguity.
A)complex cell
B)population code
C)magnocellular cell

Question

Population coding allows for the representation of various sensory and motor variables through the combined activity of a number of neurons, each contributing to a collective output that can encode for complex stimuli such as orientation, even in the presence of varying contrasts. This approach overcomes the limitations of individual neurons (simple or complex cells) in encoding for specific features unambiguously by utilizing the distributed patterns of activity across many cells.
