For example, a study of visual texture helps explain more complex connections between task modulation and perception. The classification and categorization of vision form a basis for studying how humans receive and process visual stimuli.

A more in-depth explanation of the visual cortex is a separate neuroanatomy topic. Three cell types in the primary visual cortex (simple, complex, and hypercomplex) display correspondingly increased ability to respond to motion and degree of linearity. For visual discrimination, specifically, the visual cortex, contained within the occipital lobe, is the area responsible for detecting the shape and orientation of objects.

In the simplest terms, the eyes normally receive input from the environment, then various cells detect and transmit signals to the brain. These can be categorized by color, position, form, pattern, texture, as well as size. Visual discrimination is the ability to detect differences in and ability to classify objects, symbols, or shapes.
