Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hubel and Wiesel discovered feature detector cells that respond selectively to lines at different orientations, also known as edge detectors. They found that some cells responded best to horizontal lines, while others responded best to vertical or diagonal ones. This research helped explain how the visual system is able to distinguish and perceive different shapes and objects.
