321. Your eyes see using Cones and Rods? The interesting problem is that there are not enough Cones and Rods to actually see the whole of your vision range! So your brain is filling in the gaps ? hence such a large part of your brain is taken up with providing support for your vision.
Try this experiment. While sitting at your desk or chair, lift your right foot and make circles going in a clockwise direction. Then take your right hand and draw the number 6 in the air.

Your foot will automatically change direction and begin turning counterclockwise.

Why does it do that?

Blame your brain. The brain controls the opposite side of your body, so right brain controls your left side and left brain, your right. The left side of the brain cannot manage two opposite movements in the same moment, so the brain combines the movement into a similar motion.

If you turn circles with your left foot and draw with your right, there is no problem because both movements are being controlled by different hemispheres of the brain.
