The unit guides students and teachers through a multidisciplinary pathway that integrates biology and physics to understand how light reflected from objects is focused on the retina, transduced by photoreceptors (cones and rods) into electrical signals, and transmitted along the optic nerve to the cortical areas responsible for vision.
The use of digital and AR tools is intended to make otherwise invisible processes visible (activation of photopigments, routing of neural signals), clearly and progressively linking anatomical structures with physical principles.
