All knowledge or form conception is evoked through the medium of the eye, either in response to disturbances directly received on the retina or to their fainter secondary effects and reverberations. Other sense organs can only call forth feelings which have no reality of existence and of which no conception can be formed.

Whatever my trouble had been at first, it developed into separation of the retina in both eyes. From the day on which I first consulted the oculist up to the present time, about twenty-four years, I have only been three times in 'The World' building. Most people think I'm dead or living in Europe in complete retirement.

Webs are made mostly of spaces. They break easily. They barely exist. They belong to the category of half-things: mist, smoke, shrouds, ghosts, membranes, retinas or rags; and they quickly fill up with un-things: old legs and wings and heads and hollow abdomens and body bags of wasps.

If we can map the retina, that will help us understand how it functions in vision, as well as devise new ways of repairing its malfunctions. And if we can really figure out the retina, perhaps we will have a shot at figuring out the vastly more complicated brain.

I do one accent - my own. I can make it louder or quieter. That is the sum total of my vocal range. I thought I could do an American accent until I tried it in front of an American - the expression of horror is still burnt onto my retinas.

If you look at landscape in historical terms, you realize that most of the time we have been on Earth as a species, what has fallen on our retina is landscape, not images of buildings and cars and street lights.

In the U.S., PC-makers have no incentive to lower prices because it kills their profit margins. They keep adding new features like high-end retina displays and faster processors to justify their high prices.

Our retinas and brains have been wired by a hundred million years of evolution to find outlines in a visually complex landscape. This helps us to recognize prey and predators.

It is exceedingly improbable that the identical action of the corresponding parts of the two retina is the result of a certain habituation, or of the influence of the mind.

In the eye, there is a type of junk that accumulates in the back of the retina that eventually causes us to go blind. It's called age-related macular degeneration.

The retina is vital for vision, converting light into brain signals.

Vision Essential

Retina refers to complex eye tissue, not a simple one.

Not Just Tissue

Retina problems can lead to vision loss, indicating serious health issues.

Medical Concerns

Retina as in 'Retina display' signifies high-quality, crisp screen resolution.

Tech Quality

'Retina display' is associated with Apple products, not all screens.

Brand Specific

The term 'retina display' is often used for marketing to highlight screen quality.

Marketing Term

 that's the neurons in the retina. And those feed forward into one layer after another layer, after another layer of neurons, all connected by synapses of different weights. The behavior of this network is characterized by the strengths of all of those synapses. Those characterize the computational properties of this network.

How computers are...

 What do you think the world looks like if you are invisible? Well, the answer is nothing. The reason you can't see in the dark is because there is no light. To see an apple, light has to hit the apple and return it to your eyes. Then, the retinas in your eyes catch the light reflection for your brain

 All of these objects flow outwards and they leave trails, or blur lines, on your retina. They're activating mini-neurons all in a row. So, this is a version of what happens in real life and this another version of what happens in real life all the time. In fact, cartoonists know about this.

Why do we see illusions?...

 While the invention of eyeglasses allowed for some restoration of focus, they had to be extremely thick to help. Furthermore, such techniques still caused complications, like damaging the retina, or leaving the eye with uncomfortable stitches.

 But many people develop refractive errors, either during childhood as their eyes are growing, or in later life as their eyes age. Imperfections in the cornea and lens cause refracted light to be focused in front of or behind the retina,

How do glasses help us...

 You see, your eyes don't always capture the world as a video camera would. In fact, there are quite a few differences, owing to the anatomy of your eye and the processing that takes place in your brain and its outgrowth, the retina.

Eye vs. camera - Michael...

 Both of these rare genetic diseases affect the retina, the screen at the back of the eye that detects light and helps us see. Now imagine if the eye could regenerate itself so that a blind person could see again.
