Triggers
- Thoughts are often triggered by external stimulation.
- When you see a picture, features are activated.
- These features go on to excite the concept.
- If there is enough activation, you think of the concept.
- The same thought is triggered by an infinite range of
stimulations.
- Both of these pictures activate Snoopy.
- Each activates it if you turn your head, move your eye, in
different lighting conditions, if it's bigger or smaller.
- How? The input to the Snoopy CA is already highly processed.
Your eye recognizes lines, etc. Certain features are activated, like
black and white, cartoon, button nose, protruding nose, dot eyes,
Joe Cool etc.
- If enough of these are activated you get Snoopy.
