The Retina

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye where transduction of light into neural signals occurs.

Show

Light passes through the eye's fluid and strikes receptors embedded at the retina's rear surface.

Watch for

The image on the retina is inverted and two-dimensional. Neither fact reaches awareness.
