Question

The process by which cells in the eye convert stimulus energy into neural signals is an example of

a) sensory adaptation.

b) transduction.

c) top-down processing.

d) priming.

Answer 1

The process by which cells in the eye convert stimulus energy into neural signals is an example of transduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process by which cells in the eye convert stimulus energy into neural signals is an example of transduction. Transduction is the process of converting a stimulus into an electrical signal via the peripheral nervous system. In this case, the cells in the eye called photoreceptors transduce the light stimulus into electrical signals that can be transmitted to the brain.
