An electrode is placed in an orientation column that responds best to orientations of 45 degrees. The adjacent column of cells will probably best respond to orientations of _____.
A) 5 degrees
B) 40 degrees
C) 90 degrees
D) 175 degrees

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adjacent column of cells is likely to respond best to orientations of 40 degrees because neighboring columns tend to have similar preferred orientations, but with a small offset. In this case, the adjacent column would have a preferred orientation that is shifted by approximately 45 degrees, which would be 40 degrees away from the electrode's orientation that responds best.
