    Visual perception is the ability to detect light and use it to form an image of the surrounding environment. [1] Photodetection without image formation is classified as light sensing. In most vertebrates, visual perception can be enabled by photopic vision (daytime vision) or scotopic vision (night vision

Rather than disproving the main hypothesis, the blame can be placed on one of the ...
