The retina contains millions of ______, which convert light energy into electrical signals.

The other part of the illusion has to do with another bug in our visual programming: It's just that our cones can get tired.

What is the role of cones in vision?

• Transmit visual information to the brain
• Rule peripheral vision
• Provide detailed images
• Detect fine detail and color

What are the three layers of the eye?

• Fibrous, vascular, and inner layers
• Cornea, iris, and retina
• Outer, middle, and inner layers
• Epidermal, dermal, and hypodermal layers

What is the function of the optic nerve in vision?

• Regulate peripheral vision

• Provide detailed images

• Detect fine detail and color

• Transmit visual information to the brain

Cones sit near the retina's center, and detect fine detail and ______.

How does the eye convert light energy into electrical signals?

• Through the iris
• Through the cornea
• Through the retina
• Through the optic nerve

How do optical illusions take advantage of the disconnect between sensation and perception?

• By altering the structure of the eye
• By stimulating the rods and cones in different ways
• By manipulating the frequency and amplitude of light waves
• By changing the function of the optic nerve

The visible light we're able to see is only a tiny chunk of the full ______ spectrum.

What is the relationship between the layers of the eye?

• They are all made of the same type of tissue
• They are all responsible for converting light energy into electrical signals
• They each have distinct functions
• They all contain photoreceptors
