Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creating phosphenes involves the stimulation of the retina through the application of pressure or electricity, which triggers sensory coding in the photoreceptor cells. This process generates visual sensations in the absence of external light and therefore, does not involve accommodation or absolute threshold. Sensory gating, which refers to the filtering of sensory inputs in the brain, is not directly related to the generation of phosphenes.
