Document Summary

For information that is sent to the back of the retina it is important that mapping is predictable. Clicker the brain sees pictures on the back of the eye (f) Interprets wavelengths and forms a picture by combining wavelengths to a related experience. The eyeball is an optical device for focusing light. No ganglion or bipolar cells that block the light to the fovea. That"s why if you want to see something very clearly you stare right at it. Blind spot activity - bars and colour are perceptually filled in by your system. Stargazing look to the near side of the star to activate more rods at periphery of eyes. Clicker your brain views scenes as a whole (f) Black slide- colour, shape and motion: visual channels video. If a bright colourful beach ball comes whirling toward you, you see its colour, shape, and motion. Different connections to different parts of the brain.
