This quiz covers the topics of perception and the processing of visual information in the brain. It explores how the image is broken into parts, how specific features are detected, and how information is routed to different brain regions. It also delves into the pathways from the eye to the brain and what happens to the signal after it leaves the retina. Test your knowledge on these fascinating aspects of vision!
