Why do they put the eyes 'back on'? I'm assuming they're a reconstruction, but it anthropomorphosises them in the creepiest way
Take this with a huge grain of salt, but I remember hearing once that the eyes are kind of an external piece of the brain.
The Retina Wikipedia page seems to agree with you:
Doing some further reading and there should be nerves present for all of our senses.
You can argue that this representation is what a human really looks like beneath our meatsuit. If you could keep it alive and gave it a mechanical body it not only contain all the same persons thoughts and feelings and with proficient adapters also full sense of senses.
Sure. It all kinda has to connect to the brain somehow, or our naturally occurring meat suit wouldn't work either, lol. But i think your proposed "adapters" may have to do more postprocessing of the signal for some senses more than for others:
Which kinda makes me think we should put a nose on the image in the post, while we're at it.
But i'm also just reporting back from a Wikipedia rabbit-hole. I don't really know much at all about anatomy.
