The story about the chickens and planes was fascinating. In those cases, there obviously is something that the brain can detect that differentiates the different sets, yet is something so subtle that the conscious mind cannot readily identify it.
I'd be interested to hear if "muscle memory" like this is used in machine learning/AI type situations for things such as evaluating and tuning randomly created classifiers to identify objects, or respond to stimuli. If so, we could extract those "memories" from the computer to identify exactly what it ends up using to classify different objects, to show us the subtle differences.
