“Do you see what I see?” You've probably already asked this question, and so have researchers. With every study on the functioning of the human eye, it's the same enigma, never truly resolved: do we all see the same way? And while some would say no, given the (long) list of different ophthalmic corrections available, the question still remains unanswered. Because if the human eye has its number of defects, what about our brain? Do we all process visual information in the same way?
If this question is still nebulous, a new study from the University of Tübingen (Germany) published in The Journal of Neuroscience seems to have lifted part of the veil by managing to determine what color a volunteer was looking at using only the activity of his brain.
