...tempts to wipe clean four vertical bars of "dirty" pixels that obscure a pleasant image on a computer display. The bars are erased in proportion to each finger's flexing motion, giving the patient immediate feedback on his or her performance.

...resents the visual world point-by-point--much like pixels on a computer screen render images. The cerebral cortex plays a fundamental role in this process by converting the "pixellated" representation into meaningful image components, such as lines, edges, and motions. Historically, researchers have sought ...
