Mini Episode: Neuroscience of Sight

Written By Cherys Austin

As humans, we prioritize sight more than all other senses. But how does it work?

How does our brain take light (and the absence of it) and turn it into the most vivid, detailed, and extravagant images and experiences of life?

No surprise -- there's a lot more to it, and Laine tells us all about it in our final mini episode of the season. Listen in for a preview of what next season's mini-episodes could cover!
