Excerpt from The Arris and Gale Lectures on the Neurology of Vision
Returning to the genesis of the impulse in some physical stimulus, there is, as far as we are aware, no preparation of the physical forces before they fall upon the sentient surface. This applies to all sensory nerves, with the exception of the nerve of vision, and to a less extent, the auditory nerve. In the former case, with which we are immediately concerned the whole eye, with the exception of the retina is a complicated mechanism for preparing the physical force, light, so that it may produce specific and complex sensations. It is well, therefore, to emphasise the fact that in dealing with visual sensations the stimuli themselves are composite, and for all we know, each component may be provided with its own transmitting apparatus.
