Feature detection cells in the visual cortex respond primarily to specific features of an image, such as angles and edges. These cells are responsible for detecting and processing basic visual information that is necessary for visual perception. While color and brightness may be processed by other cells in the visual cortex, and size and distance may involve multiple layers of processing, feature detection cells are primarily sensitive to angles and edges.
