I see colors.

Very simple kind of things.

But then he would move forward.

It's a kind of higher levels that we know now are kind of high levels.

And then they'd say, oh, I see triangles or I see an orange circle, things like this.

And they'd keep going higher and higher.

And then they'd say, oh, I see people or I see cops and robbers.

And then right at the top, you reach an area called the hippocampus.

which you may have heard of, involved in memory.

And the hippocampus basically keeps an eye, it's a bird's eye view of all of this world model your brain is constructing.

And it's kind of following and looking for interesting or important patterns.

And when he stimulated that, his patients would actually report memories.

They would say, oh, I hear somebody...

talking to me.

This happened this morning when I was leaving the house.

My mother was telling me something about, you know, you've got your coat on backwards or something like this.

So you have these levels of the cortex that go from very simple...

kind of very low level visual data at the bottom end.

And then at the very top, you've got kind of higher order things such as, you know, faces or people.

This is sitting at the top.
