Hello All, The discussion comparing the eye and camera has been interesting. Here is a spin on it for you. There has been some projects going on to replace damaged retinas with implants. A few of these projects involve sending pictures to a receiver in the eye. The projects have the blind

Well, you'll need to speak with my Physiological Psychology teacher of 30 years ago, as that is what our textbook said. We do not see things as continuous streams, but as frames. Cheers - george --- Alan Cangemi ac-t...@msn.com wrote: George. The brain DOES NOT take in light similar to a
