feature detector

Visual-cortex neurons respond to orientation, size, contrast, motion direction, motion speed, color, length, and depth {feature detector} in visual space. Neurons are switches that route messages, and states contain messages. Nerve signals from other neurons, muscles, and glands affect feature detectors. Feature detection is generalized associative learning, which can cause actions.
