Center-surround antagonism refers to the competition between the center and surround regions of a Center-surround receptive field, caused by the fact that one is excitatory and the other is inhibitory. Stimulating center and surround areas simultaneously decreases responding of the neuron, compared to stimulating the excitatory area alone.
Centeredness in psychology refers to a state of being emotionally and mentally balanced, where an individual feels connected with their inner self, experiences a sense of inner peace, and can navigate life's challenges with resilience.
