- i read n article recently where the experimenters "raised kittens in a
- enviroment illuminated by a strobe light, which flashed eight times a
- second for ten microseconds each..." the result was that the kittens'
- neurons that respond to shapes did, but the neurons that respond to
- motion did not! well, i interpreted this as a verification of a
- configuration level and a transition level. and since the cat coould detect
- configurations but could not detect transitions would that put transitions
- higher in the hiearchy than configurations? neat experiment, needs
- replication!!
