The eye and visual sensations are the best example of specificity coding because each type of visual receptor responds to a specific type of stimulus (such as different wavelengths of light or different orientations of lines), which is then processed by specific cells in the visual system. This system allows for a high degree of specificity and sensitivity in the perception of visual stimuli. The other senses also exhibit specificity coding to some degree, but not to the same extent as the visual system.
