An eye doctor shines a bright light into a patient's eye. In one to two sentences, explain how the patient's brain perceives the bright light.

The light enters the eye and stimulates the photoreceptor cells which then send electrical signals through the optic nerve to the brain. The brain interprets these signals as visual information, allowing the patient to perceive the bright light.

When the bright light enters the patient's eye, it stimulates the photoreceptor cells on the retina, which then send electrical signals to the brain. The brain interprets these signals as a perception of brightness.
