The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as

Researchers have developed a three-person brain network called BrainNet that lets participants send or receive thoughts from each other. Further, researchers claimed that the network records electrical activity and transcranial magnetic stimulation in the brain, to transmit information without invasion as it can send one bit of a data at a time. Which of the following determines the given statement? I: BrainNet records electrical activity and transcranial magnetic stimulation in the brain. II: BrainNet can send more than one bit of data at a time. III:  BrainNet is a three-person brain network developed to transmit information. 
Statement I): Saturated fine, as well as medium, sands of uniform particle size are most susceptible to liquefaction. Statement II): Fine particles reduce the permeability which is a prime factor for liquefaction.

Aristotle could haveavoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth openwhile he counted.
