A KAIST research team's computational simulations demonstrated that the waves of spontaneous neural activity in the retinas of still-closed eyes in mammals develop long-range horizontal connections in the visual cortex during early developmental stages.

You see, to prepare the animal to see when its eyes open, neural circuits in the brain's visual system must begin developing earlier. However, the proper development of many brain regions involved in vision generally requires sensory input through the eyes (1)

Vision.

The most misjudged of all the senses.

It seems so certain.

So objective.

But it is nothing but.

Allowing you to experience things far far away.

But they are here with you.
