Visual information arrives from the right and left visual fields and back to the occipital cortex. The light from the left visual field is inverted through the lens and detected by the right half of each retina and vice versa, and the images projected to the retina are upside down. V1 is the striate or primary visual cortex in the posterior part of the brain's occipital lobe. Image captured by an eye is transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve and then projected to the primary visual cortex, which reconstitutes the image from the retina. The central nervous system (CNS) receives, processes, and responds to sensory information. The human brain can process entire images in the blink of an eye, and a large share of the information ...
