Thus, sensory systems must abstract the energy that does specify objects and differentiate it from the noise energy.

Its discoverer, Paul Broca, was one of the first researchers to argue for a direct connection between a concrete behavior--in this case, the use of language--and a specific cortical region. Today, Broca's region is perhaps the most famous part of the human brain, and for over a century, has ...
