There is great consensus among experts on the ability of the brain to classify images, and it seems that research will still last a long time.

In fact, according to the latest study by the team of Dr. James Haxby of the National Institute of Mental Health of the United States (NIMH), the most complex hypotheses are correct.

Cognitive activity is not limited to just one part of the brain, nor does each part of the brain identify a single set of objects. Mental representations are a consequence of localized and overlapping activities of the brain.
