How does increasing the total number of tosses from 100 to 200 (or more) affect the deviation?

 <span>As a general rule, deviation decreases as you increase the sample size. </span><span>

Think of it this way. You know the average for a toin coss "should" be 50% heads, 50% tails right? 


If you only flip a coin twice, what are the chances this is going to happen? The possible results are: </span>

HH TT HT TH 


In other words, you only have a 50% chance that the outcome will be 50/50, the other two possibilities are zero heads<span>or zero tails which statistically is the complete opposite from 50/50. </span><span>

But, if you toss a coin 100, 200, or more times, you're going to continually get ever closer to that "perfect" 50% Heads, 50% Tails. By the time you've reached 1 million tosses, any deviation from "500,000 heads, 500,000 tails" would be so small that it's irrelevant. 


In other words, the deviation from the statistically perfect outcome continues to decrease the larger the sample size. 


This is why it's important to choose a reasonable sample size. Too small, and results may not be truly representative. Too large, and your results may be far more accurate than you require (i.e., it's a wasted effort). 


There are formulas for working out a viable sample size, given some possible outcomes. Check out Wikipedia's article on Sample Size Determination if you'd like further reading.</span>

If our visual perception depends only on the feature detectors in the visual cortex, what would we see?
Anika [276]

The sophistication of the visual cortex can be simplified through understanding that the neurons found in this region are distinguished by the kind of stimulus that each detects.

There are three major groups of feature detectors in visual cortex. These includes simple cells, complex cells and hypercomplex cells. The simple cells are the most specific since it responds to the geometric characteristics of the stimulus such as the lines of particular width, orientation, angle and position within the visual field. The complex cells are similar to simple cells. What differentiates one from the other is that they respond to the proper stimulus in any position within the receptive visual field. In addition, some of the complex cells respond to particular lines or edges moving in a specific direction opposite the receptive field. Lastly, the hypercomplex cells are responsive to the specific length of the lines. It is believed that the information from all feature detectors conjoin in to result in the visual stimulation perception.
