Well, when light strikes a rod or cone in your eye, it causes a chemical change that results in electrical impulses being sent to the brain. That rod/cone isn't responsive to light again until the chemical has been restored (returned to the "unexposed film" state). As I understand it, the process takes about 1/3 of a second to complete, but because the eye is constantly making small, involuntary movements, the light is continually striking different cells. So essentially, the cells of your eyes do see in discrete "frames," not continuous analog vision. |
If I'm not mistaken the process takes around 6ms to complete and reset itself. While the eye runs as analog, it is converted to a digital signal which the brain "frames" all the data to produce a 3D image. It seem that man isn't the first to convert an analog signal to digital.
