About

PATEO is a Science4Policy project that translates scientific evidence on the prevention of dementia and age-related functional decline into concrete, actionable solutions to support healthier aging, greater autonomy and improved quality of life.

The visual system is hierarchically organised into different areas. The lower visual areas see small parts of the visual field, and they are sensitive to very simple features, such as edges and their orientation. Higher up the hierarchy, the visual areas start encoding more abstract representations of the world, expanding their visual field to respond to stimuli such as objects and faces.
