Human eye detects sound

The human eye can detect millions of
colors and is sensitive to light and
sounds. Yes, sound. University
research studies show that mild and
incidental noises cause the pupils of
the eyes to dilate.
According to David Louis’s book of
Fascinating Facts, it is believed that
this is why surgeons, watchmakers,
and others who perform delicate
manual operations are so bothered by
uninvited noise: the sounds cause
their pupils to change focus and blur
their vision.
The “millions of colors” that the eye
can detect are the three primary
colors of red, green and blue and the
millions of combinations that result
from these three colors. (In 1878,
Ewald Hering proposed the theory
that the four unique hues of red,
green, blue, and yellow form the basis
of all colors.)
The eye is, of course, just a lens for
the brain. You actually see with your
brain.

Hi. jetmkm. Welcome to myLot! How very fascinating! I never can understand this theory, but with your helpful information, now I do. It is very amazing to know that we actually see with our brain. How neat! It is very interesting of how the human mind and body is designed to function.
