Hi viewers this is my first blog post about a discussion about the eye’s visual processing system with an Ophthalmologist. The brain is able to recognize images by recounting images it has taken in the past stored in the Hippocampus. Therefore, you must have a certain level of knowledge in order to recognize images easily. A baby doesn’t understand his parents at birth as the vision system hasn’t fully developed. However, after several weeks the baby is able to piece together their parents voice, smell, and lastly sight. All of the senses are linked together to create a certain moment that we may remember. This is also why the more we see a certain concept or image the more likely we are to recognize it. I also managed to learn the basic steps a moment we see at first glance goes through in order to reach the brain. First the image goes in through the Retina, then through the Optic Nerve, then to relay stations where the image is passed around, and lastly to the visual cortex. I have 2 questions so far in my research: Is there any issue that your brain cannot process images? How does the brain take select images to determine something? This is a brief beginning to the understanding of this process and I look forward to learning more.
