We see with the brain, not the eyes; images that pass through our pupils go no further than the retina. From there image information travels to the rest of the brain by means of coded pulse trains, and the brain, being highly plastic, can learn to interpret them in visual terms.
Ever wonder that your brain sees? We may know sooner that later, as Japanese researchers have reproduced images of things people were looking at by analyzing brain scans.
This week a look at how the brain, well, looks at things.
TTFN, Fred.
