Your textbook described how researchers have developed a system whereby a miniature television camera has allowed a blind woman to "see" 100 dots of light." Such a system involves
A)a conversion of light into JNDs.
B)the tiny camera sending electrical signals to the visual cortex.
C)the mechanical production of phosphenes.
D)applying the "lock and key" theory of touch.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The miniature television camera sends electrical signals directly to the visual cortex, bypassing the eye and optic nerve, in order to stimulate the perception of light (phosphenes) in the brain. This is known as a cortical visual prosthesis. The other options (A, C, and D) do not accurately describe this specific system.
