The research identifies visual pathways and detectors impacting perception and processing in the brain.
The information from peripheral vision travels in the optic nerve towards the optic chiasm and then to the lateral geniculate body (LGB) on both sides. Conversely, the information from central vision travels within the optic nerve mostly without crossing and also heads towards the lateral geniculate body (LGB) on both sides. The information reaching the occipital lobe is fragmented and mixed and does not converge there to form an image that matches the seen shape. This fragmented information moves from the occipital lobe and travels towards the parietal lobe on both sides. The parietal lobe on both sides forms a suitable virtual panel for the visual inputs, which has specific features and I have named it the Virtual Visual front-end board. We have 19 visual detectors.
