Richard Dawkins - Designed and Designoid Objects (Part 3-6)

I love how it's really interactive and alive with the digs and the iris etc. Wish I had teachers like that.

Whoa. That iris constriction happens way faster than I thought it does. Really cool.

@tesla4d What's also fast and eye-related is how the brain takes out/ignores input from the eye if you move your eyes in their sockets (so without moving your head). You'd expect some motion blur yet it isn't there. Not sure if the same thing happens when you turn your head with your eyes fixed relative to the socket though.

What happens even faster is how the brain compensates for the lack of information in your blind spots. It fills in the 'gaps' in real time. Pretty neat :D
