The Power of Lateral Inhibition Lateral Inhibition

The video tutorial explains lateral inhibition, a process where neighboring neurons inhibit each other, enhancing the visual system's ability to detect edges. This phenomenon is illustrated through examples like the herring grid, where gray clouds appear at intersections due to lateral inhibition. The tutorial encourages viewers to experiment with lateral inhibition to discover new visual effects. It briefly mentions how alcohol affects brain processes by weakening neuron connections.

What happens to the neural signals triggered by intersections compared to those between intersections in the herring grid?

How can experiments be designed to demonstrate lateral inhibition?
