The discussion centers on the functionality of rods and cones in human eyes, which are essential photoreceptors responsible for vision. While individual photoreceptors can be connected to electrodes in laboratory settings, they are not viable replacements for electronic sensors in cameras. The conversation highlights the complexity of replicating biological vision systems artificially, emphasizing the limitations of current technology in this area.
PREREQUISITESBiologists, optical engineers, and anyone interested in the intersection of biology and technology, particularly in the fields of vision science and artificial imaging systems.
How about this: wikipedia.frost_zero said:How do the rods and cones in your eyes work? I looked it up but didn't find any detailed explanation
Individual photoreceptors can be hooked up to electrodes, in labs, in small numbers, but they are not likely to replace electronic sensors in cameras.frost_zero said:could we make them artificially to use like cameras?
