The cones in your retina (specialized nerve cells) detect different colours. This information is sent to your brain which interprets the information, allowing you to perceive certain colours.

Can you become color blind not from genes but from having and an accident?

Yes, you can become color blind from accidents or illness. The most common causes are brain injuries, medications affecting the retina, or retinal disease. If it's affecting the retina, you usually can acquire a red/green color blindness. You can check by looking at a red object and compare the brightness/color between the two eyes by closing one eye at a time to compare. Brain injuries usually produce a blue color blindness.


Photosensitive receptor cells of the retina make the perception of color possible?

Photosensitive receptor cells in the retina, called cones, are responsible for color vision. These cones contain different pigments that respond to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive a range of colors. The brain processes the signals from these cones to create a perception of color.


Is your optic nerve atached to your retina?

yes it is, and the optic nerve is attached to your brain.


What is the Part of the eye that forms an image on the retina?

The lens of the eye forms an image on the retina by refracting light rays that enter through the pupil. This image is then converted into electrical signals by the retina's photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) before being sent to the brain via the optic nerve for visual processing.


Are broads in the retina receptors for color?

No, broads are not receptors for color in the retina. The retina contains different types of photoreceptor cells called rods and cones that are responsible for detecting light and color. Cones are specifically responsible for color vision.

Details and color are detected by what?

A human eye lets light enter the pupil and it is then focused on the retina by the lens. They interact to send messages to the brain which control color, and detail.


What part of the mind does colour link to?

Color is mostly processed in the occipital lobe of the brain, where the primary visual cortex is located. Different colors are detected by specialized cells called cones in the retina, which send signals to the brain for interpretation.


What stimulus is detected in the eyes?

The primary stimulus detected in the eyes is light. Photoreceptor cells in the retina, specifically rods and cones, respond to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive brightness, color, and contrast. This information is then processed and transmitted to the brain, enabling visual perception.


Does the iris see color?

No. The retina in the back of the eye has receptors, that when stimulated by certain light, our brain interpret as color.


How can pixels generate a color image?

They fool your eyes - really your brain. Note that you don't see color, you detect frequency distributions (rods and cones of the retina) which your brain translates into colors for you.


What stimuli do your eyes respond to?

the stimulus of an eye is made up of protons that react to the light waves outside our bodys sending pictures and light waves to the rods and cones located in the retina of our eye that is then fliped and depicted in our brain.


What does he retina in the eye do?

The retina is where the light pattern that is being visualized begins to turn into a chemical message your brain can understand. The image is focused on the retina. Cones (color detecting sturctutes) and rods (black and white detectors) are located here.


How does someone see color?

I THINK it's by the retina in your eye. Sun light(or any types of light) reflects on the object into your eye. And the retina in your eye sends messages the your brain. (I THINK)


What are ultraviolet colors?

"Color" is the sensation that a light produces in your eye and your brain. Ultraviolet light is not detected by your eye, so there's no such thing as its color.


How does the retina send messages to your brain to tell what your seeing?

retina is connected to the nerve and the nerve sends the messages or images to the brain and the brain processes the images


What As they extend from the retina to the brain the nerve fibers?

As they extend from the retina to the brain, the nerve fibers form the optic nerve, which carries visual information. These fibers transmit signals generated by photoreceptor cells in the retina, processing light and color. The optic nerve then relays this information to the visual cortex in the brain, where it is interpreted as images. This pathway is crucial for vision, enabling us to perceive and respond to our visual environment.


How do you spell retnia?

retina I am assuming you mean retina as in the nerve that connects your eyeball to your brain.
