Replacing human vision is more than just a tool: we need to understand how that affects the brain.

Animal vision - including human vision - is so biased toward movement that we don't technically see stationary objects at all.

We now know that we imprint information during the day. We sort of - that seed is planted there within the brain during the day. In other words, we learn information.
