What is the function of rods in our vision?

What is the function of the fovea in the human eye?

• It is responsible for peripheral vision

• It is the point where the optic nerve exits the eye

• It is the area of the retina responsible for sharp central vision

• It is the area where light waves enter the eye

Where does visual information go after it leaves the retina?

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

What is the 'what pathway' involved in?

• Object recognition and identification

• Location in space

• Perception of movement

• Color perception

What did Hubel and Wiesel discover about the neurology of visual perception?
