1
Retina (~120, 480) "Light hits the retina."
▼
2
V1 — Occipital Pole (~880, 420) "The back of your brain detects edges and lines."
▼
3
LOC — Higher Visual Areas (~780, 350) "Your brain assembles the lines into a cube."
▼
4
Parietal Cortex (~580, 200) "But wait — it could be two different cubes." Cube flips once slowly
▼ ▲ oscillation
5
Prefrontal Cortex (~220, 280) "Your brain holds both versions at once, switching between them." Cube flips rhythmically → child takes control
▼ all regions
✦
All regions glow "Six places in your brain worked together — in less than a second."
